Used to pay for this before it was acquired by Atlassian. Never used it since. Thought I might try, given the major new version number, but...

You will be prompted for your Atlassian account details. You only have to login once to complete your registration.

No thanks.

Be warned, paying users upgrading from 2.x to current 2.3.x will be forced to sign up.

And in Atlassian's license, section 12: "You will not publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Products.". Enables trust a lot...

Let me follow up with our legal team to see why that's in there. Sometimes there is a good "legal" reason for these terms that are not quite obvious to the rest of us.

To the earlier comment, we have gotten a lot of feedback in regards to the sign-up to Atlassian Account. The fact is that you always required a license, so you had to sign-up anyway. But we took the license away and streamlined the sign-up into the product (yes, there are issues with people behind firewalls that we will have to address).

Personally, I don't think requiring an account is asking too much for a free product and down the road it will help us to provide a more seamless integration for people who use other Atlassian tools as well.

Cheers, Jens

I had a license, changed nothing, and your upgrade wants me to go waste 10 minutes to-and-froing to get on some new marketing database. Sorry, not cool. I feel like your company ruined a great product I was very happy with.

Atlassian have become (probably always were) a horrible, customer-hostile company. This is terrible.
