Purchase License key for ACF Fields PRO

[robe]

AS noted by GI in an email

Hi Regina and Strk,

We used our own licence key during development, I think it's for the better that OSGeo will purchase their own licence.

GI used their own license for ACF Field PRO and we can't upgrade it without a license key, so we'll need to purchase a 1-time fee of $25

That's the only plugin we can't upgrade at this time. All other plugins have been upgraded.

I don't think there is any super rush on this. We are running 5.6.6 latest 5.6.7 has this very boring release note.

 5.6.7 Fixed an assortment of bugs found in 5.6.6

I'm hoping they didn't bother to itemize as they did in there 5.6.6 notes cause the bug fixes are too trivial to note.

Even if it's a really small amount, I'd rather not sponsor use-license based businesses. Can we dump use of such plugin ?

strk did you ever get an answer from GI about what it's specifically used for.

Once we have a new staging going, we can disable the plugin and see what breaks :).

I did not receive any answer about why, only a confirmation about it being _required_ ... :/

I think we agreed this needs to be purchased - end of story. See #2402

Just an FYI that we did finally purchase a key. Though it looks like they are going to yearly licensing now instead of the 4 life.
