Builder is now free for use on any confluence install from 2.7 onwards.

Why free

In order for us to concentrate more on our level of service, and provide a more effective solution to our clients we have decided to make builder a free plugin, it remains commercially supported, and our plans for it's future have not changed signficantly.

We will still be developing the clustered plugin resources module, zipped layout backups (including resource files), removing ext and all it's painfulness, and providing a layout library that allows sharing of layout designs (we may even consider developing a marketplace to allow third parties to sell their own builder layouts).

Existing license holders will continue to recieve support and upgrades for the duration of their maintenance contract. At the end of existing mainenance contracts, users may continue maintaining a support contract with us - so that they may continue to use tracker.adaptavist.com and recieve one-to-one support, albeit with a greater level of responsiveness & attention to their issues that the reduced workload will permit.

Alternatively users may continue to enjoy free upgrades, and embrace the builder community through the forums on this site for their support needs.

    Hey Adaptavist,

    Fantastic stuff! Thanks for ThemeBuilder. Your announcement was definitely one of the most surprising as I don't think anyone saw it coming. It was great hearing your strategies around the announcement and I think they're clever.

    Keep up the great work!

    Sorry guys, but where do you download a key, now that it is free?

      You dont need a key, just install 3.3.4 or later and accept the EULA.

      You can download it from here

    I have asked Atlassian to install the plugin at our hosted wiki - that we are hosting also via Atlassian. There is still a license key required.

      The changes in 3.3.4 were incomplete, as such the licensing action tells you that you are unlicensed even though the theme is functional and can be used without the license.

      You can either ignore what the licensing screen is telling you, or upgrade to 3.3.5 where the code has been changed to report that you have a free license on the licensing screen.

      In Builder 3.4.0 the licensing code will be completely removed.
