Hi,
we recently updated ContinuaCI to 1.6.0.292. Everything went well until I tried to add a new agent to ContinuaCI. Our subscription expired about two weeks ago and there was no warning during setup. Is that the intended behavior? It’d expect the installer to fail if the subscription is not longer valid.
Although our subscription has expired we are still able to run distributed builds.
Regards

Hi Kay
The setup has no way of knowing what licenses you have installed, since they are stored in the database. Continua always starts up whether there is a license installed or not, so it is usable most of the time. The fact that you can still run distributed builds when your license is invalid is a bug, thanks for reporting this!
We do send out subscription reminder emails (several), but I guess we should also add something in Continua to remind you about that as well, I’lld add a task for this to the backlog.
