Purpose

The older versions of this app (before 5.x) are still free but they will display a "license is required" message during the first launch.

To continue using the older app for free, you can either install version 4.3.1 (the last free version) or contact the support team to generate a free license. See below for more details about these steps.

Versions prior to 5.x is no longer supported by Appfire. Bug fixes, compatibility upgrades, and new features will only be added to the paid version.

Answer

To continue using the app for free, we recommend you install or upgrade to version 4.3.1.

v4.3.1 is the last free version and it can be used without a license (it does not prompt for one either).

Follow the steps below to install version 4.3.1.

  • download the app below from the Page Approval Version List

  • access Confluence and navigate to Confluence Administration > Manage Apps

  • choose Upload App (on the top right)

  • choose Choose File and locate the previously downloaded file

  • select Upload and wait for the update process to finish

Alternatively, if you need to use a specific version of the app which is older than version 4.3.1 (for example, version 4.2.17), you may contact our support team to help you generate a free license.

You can find out what version of Page Approval is on your server by

  • navigating to Confluence Administration > Manage Apps

  • expanding the Page Approval tab to see the version number
