We originally planned to leave Simple Questions and Answers very basic in terms of functionality and therefore free. However different feature requests pushed us away from the plan "leaving it basic". Therefore we decided to commercialize Simple Questions and Answers.
With the release of Smart Questions and Answers 2.0.0 (renamed from Simple Questions and Answers) you may use the version from Marketplace without purchasing a license. However the feature set is still reduced as indicated below. |
As we want to keep the original promise we will maintain Simple Questions and Answers version 1.6.x. Maintain means that we will keep it compatible with upcoming Confluence releases and will fix bugs. However we will not add any features. You can get the latest free version here or form the table below.
