I'm not sure I like this trend.
While I understand some features GitLab may feel its worth a "second license" fee, it sets a bad precedent.
Similarly, I don't want to give you $390/year for a GitLab instance with 2-3 users which keeps me from paying for the stuff I use for sideprojects. Although, tbh, if you are going the secondary license route for various features it seems I'm better off looking into an alternative and just implementing them myself.
I honestly was just using the post-receive hook, etc. for this sort of thing.
- akerro 11y agoafaik there will be possibility to get a license for n users instead n*10 packs.
- jobvandervoort 11y agoThat's correct.
- lars_francke 11y agoThanks for that. Can you give us details on when this change will happen?
- jobvandervoort 11y agoWe're not sure yet when it will happen, but we'll make it clear when we do. Update: our aim is before Q1 ends.
- lars_francke 11y agoGreat, thanks for the update.
- jobvandervoort 11y agoWe will make it possible to buy a license for n users, rather than n*10 users (as noted below). If you're not interested in GitLab Geo, you won't have to pay for it, while maintaining all other EE features.
