New features

• 7-days free trial without registration
  Docs (in draft)
  This allows new users to start using Vaadin commercial products right away without any registration on vaadin.com by clicking on the button that is on the trial splash screen shown by Vaadin application. Also allows to run in production without a license but with commercial banner by adding -Dvaadin.commercialWithBanner to the production build.

  • Try to download license key when log in from splash screen
    Commit · Pull request
    When pressing the login button on the splash screen, redirects the user to the vaadin.com license validation endpoint and polls license server to download a license key. If the license key is available the application browser page gets reloaded. Otherwise an error message is shown.

  • Add base license checker init listener
    Commit · Pull request
    Provides a basic VaadinServiceInitListener implementation to perform license checking of a specific product at startup. License checking is executed only in development mode. In case of missing license keys it will either delegate the check to the Vaadin Dev Server, or open a browser to allow sign in and download a key if the dev server is disabled.

  • Add pre-trial splash screen
    Commit · Pull request
    Shows a splash screen when a commercial component is detected at runtime in development mode, but there are no license keys available. The splash screen prevents the user from interacting with the application and it allows either starting a pre-trial or to log in to the vaadin.com account and download a license key. After starting a pre-trial, the page is reloaded to make the application usable. If the per-trial period has expired, the splash screen presents a button that forwards to the vaadin.com website to extend the trial.

    Commit · Pull request
