What is the legacy licensing?

The first version of Better PDF Exporter was released long before Atlassian Marketplace and the Jira app ecosystem existed. In those days, there was no common licensing model for apps, thus Midori started to use a proprietary licensing model and started to sell licenses directly.

Better PDF Exporter became immensely popular over the years, and the old model (we call it legacy) couldn't scale smoothly to the increased user base. As we wanted to focus our efforts on making the app better, not on creating quotes and on maintaining license keys, we decided to convert from the legacy model to the standard Atlassian Marketplace licensing model (which became a sort of standard in the meanwhile).

The licensing change takes place from app version 5.0.0, meaning:

• All app versions starting from 5.0.0 are available with Atlassian Marketplace licensing (and only with that).
• All app versions before 5.0.0 will continue using legacy licenses.
  When upgrading to 5.0.0 or newer, your legacy license should be migrated to the equivalent Atlassian Marketplace license using a simple migration process. (Don't forget to migrate: the new licensing model comes with major advantages!)

Differences between legacy- and Atlassian Marketplace licenses

What are the advantages of using Atlassian Marketplace licenses?

1. Cheaper: license renewals are 30-40% cheaper (depending on the user tier). We made small adjustments to our pricing, that save on license fees for returning customers, yet allow us to further improve the app.
2. Faster: Midori is in the CET timezone, and it sometimes resulted in some turnaround time for customers based in the US and Asia. Atlassian Marketplace is available 24/7, 100% automated and 100% self-service, so it has never been faster to get licenses.
3. Easier: no need for vendor registration, no need for approval from the legal department, etc. because in the new model you are purchasing from Atlassian Marketplace (not from Midori) in accordance with the standard Atlassian Marketplace conditions.
4. More convenient: your Better PDF Exporter license will be integrated with your Jira or other app licenses via the My Atlassian website. You can buy, renew, co-term and manage them in a consistent manner.

Migrating legacy licenses to Atlassian Marketplace licenses

To convert your existing legacy license to the equivalent Atlassian Marketplace license:

1. Install Better PDF Exporter 5.0.0 or newer.
2. Generate a trial license for the app at Atlassian Marketplace. Make sure that you are using your organization's official Atlassian Marketplace account to generate the trial, because the migrated license will be associated with that account!
3. Open a ticket in our support desk with the following information in the ticket description:
   1. Attach your jira-pdfview-plugin.properties license file that should be migrated.
      Please note that each legacy license will be migrated only once, so double-check the file, especially if you have licenses for multiple servers!
      Tip: you can find this file attached to the email sent by Midori last time you purchased or renewed your license. Alternatively, login to Jira as admin, go to Administration → Add-ons → PDF Templates, click the file jira-pdfview-plugin.properties file and copy the content of the editor in the bottom to the ticket's description.
   2. Include the SEN of the trial license you created in step 2.
      We will migrate the legacy license to the Atlassian account specified in that.
      Tip: to find the app's SEN (not Jira's SEN!), login Jira as admin, go to Administration → Add-ons → Manage add-ons, then expand the box of the Better PDF Exporter for Jira.
4. Continue using the app (the trial allows 30 days).
5. We will migrate your license before the trial expires, and update you on that. The migrated license will appear among your other Atlassian licenses.
6. Migration is done. From this point, you can renew and manage the license via Atlassian Marketplace.

What is my app license ID?

This is a unique ID that identifies your Better PDF Exporter license. It is not identical with either your Jira server ID or your Atlassian Support Entitlement Number (SEN)! It is only used by Midori to identify your Jira server and the app license installed to that.

To obtain this ID: login to your Jira as system administrator, go to Administration → Add-ons → Better PDF Exporter for Jira → Configure and see the ID at Your license ID.

Installing the (legacy) license

After you received your own jira-pdfview-plugin.properties file from us, please follow these instructions. Having any problems, contact us at info@midori-global.com any time.

1. Go to Administration → Add-ons → License (under PDF Views in the left) in Jira 6, and to Administration → License in Jira 5.
2. Open the jira-pdfview-plugin.properties file in any simple text editor (e.g. Notepad).
3. Copy its content to the web form. Save it.
