Hello,
I use Metabox.io with composer on a client website.
Since the website is finished, and only maintenance modifications are done, I did not renew the Core Extensions Bundle license since (from the FAQ) : "The product will continue to work after your license expires."
This is not the case actually, since the "composer install" in my deployment script fails. The links in my composer.lock (https://metabox.io/?action=download&product=mb-settings-page&api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXX) gives me this error :
"ERROR: Your license is expired. Please renew your license on the My Account page."
It should return the latest version used before the license expires.
Now I'm stuck and can no longer update this website.
What can I do ?
Hi,
Regarding this message "The product will continue to work after your license expires.", the extension on the site still works after the license expired. Of course, it still works as well. Can you please confirm this?
Regarding the composer, we have a note for this case "the version of extensions specified in composer.json
must be dev-master
. We don’t support version constraints for Meta Box extensions yet. You always use the latest version.". That means you need to renew the license to install the latest versions of extensions.
Please read more here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/composer/#usage
Yes, the extension of the site still works. But I need to somewhat update some of my outdated composer packages.
My way to use MetaBox is with composer, so I should have access to the version of Metabox I paid to use.
Is the feature of having Metabox version in composer in progress ?
Hi,
We don't support the older version of premium extensions or accessing them. If you have them on a site, you can try to create a copy and install them on another site.
So you are saying that if I have a workflow of using composer, I have the obligation to renew the license?
Is the feature of having older version of premium extension something you're planning to do ?
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will inform the development team to consider supporting users to download the older version of premium extensions.
