FAQs

I did not receive my license code. Where is it?

It went to one of your spam folders. This automated payment and license system I've been using has worked 100% of the time over two years for roughly a purchase per week. You can find your license code there.

How do I enter the license key?

Once you've installed the plugin...
http://<yourconfluence.com>/admin/multiexcerpt-admin/multiexcerpt-admin.action
which could also be something like:
http://<yourconfluence.com>/confluence/admin/multiexcerpt-admin/multiexcerpt-admin.action

How does the trial/demo work?

Version 2.0+ of the plugin allows up to 10 multi-excerpt-includes to work. The same excerpts can be included in multiple places and only count once. Once you have more than 10, the additional multi-excerpt-includes will display a message with a link to purchase a license.

How much does the plugin now cost?

Please see this plugin's MarketPlace page for pricing.

Why is this now commercial when it was free?

The plugin was initially released as open source in 2004. After around 1000 downloads, the newer versions of Confluence required updates to the plugin. After trying to figure out how to best help the many companies who use this plugin, we decided to rerelease it fixed, updated, and with several feature requests implemented. To do this, we have to charge a small fee. Purchasers of this plugin will be offered support for their issues and will continue to see enhancements to this plugin.

Will this continue to work as new versions of Confluence as they're released?

Yes!

What versions of Confluence will this work with?

Please see the P.A.C. page, which always lists the latest compatibility - as of this writing, all versions from Conf 2.7 through 4.x are compatible with some version of the plugin

I'd like to see a new feature

Our project is open source or not-for-profit. Do you honor Atlassian's approach to these types of projects?

Yes. If you have a Confluence license for those types, just email me the site from a similar email address (same domain), and I'll send you a license. soon the plugin will determine the Confluence license type automatically, which will not be necessary.
