Working with old ui5 version

0 Kudos
Hi experts
I am starting to work with a client with an installed version of UI5 1.28. I understand that this version has been depreciated for a long time and the client is not willing to autualize the installed ui5 libraries.
I would like to know if it is correct to use external UI5 in new applications, for example https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/resourses/sap-ui-core.js 
Is there any other approach that I can take in these situations?
Thank you!

Hello, first thing that come up to my mind was Fiori Frontend Server in Hub Deployment (I never remember about how this is licensed, but it is possible that your customer is entitled to use), and should do the trick.

Directly linking to CDN version is a bit risky: there is one question (couldn't locate now) about someone questioning possible licensing issue when doing that (probably a partner doing code for a customer) and it is not allowed. Even this one having a earlier UI5 version there should be some part of licensing rights not allowing to use different versions (to enforce upgrade).

You can of course use OpenUI5 (the free version with some features left out).

Hi,

I'm not sure the problem will come from the license.

What you suggested is a good point, having a hub architecture. If your customer could not provide a further server, then you can setup a little apache server which will hold the UI5 libraries. Of course that last solution if your customer doesn't want using a CDN solution.

Regards,

Joseph

Hello,

As far as I know, your customer is already licensed to utilize UI5 and using different versions is up to him. I recommend confirming.

If so, your approach is ok, I would even align with basis to check if there is a way to use the SAP CDN (Content Distribution Network) for the version you want or proxying the version you want within your customer system...
