While attempting to publish changes to my teammates in unity plastic, it hit me with an error. I’m totally lost on what this means, and any help would be appreciated. When I hit the “publish” button, the collaborate window says it “cannot submit changes to the server”. Furthermore, an error message comes up in the console window, stating “Collab service is deprecated, only read operations are allowed”. I would love some info on what this means, and how I could fix it if possible.

Collab and PlasticSCM aren’t the same.
Please read this: https://forum.unity.com/threads/collaborate-will-soon-be-upgraded-to-plastic-scm.1188592/
Hi! I had the same problem, seems like collab has been deactivated for my organization and had to migrate to PlasticSCM, errors gone.
Here’s an article which details what’s going on: https://forum.unity.com/threads/action-required-before-may-31-2022-preserving-archived-collaborate-projects-after-the-upgrade.1241806/
In short, Unity is upgrading all Collaborate projects to be Plastic SCM compatible, but they aren’t immediately upgrading all accounts to Plastic SCM. You still have to upgrade and pay for Plastic SCM by yourself in order to further work with people on the same projects (It’s free for the first 3 people, but you still have to input card info regardless. Further pricing info can be found on the Plastic SCM website). This is just another step in discontinuing Unity Collaborate before the end of the year.
Note: All Collaborate projects should be upgraded to be Plastic SCM compatible by the end of the year, and they will be saved in an archive on your online Unity dashboard (See above link). However, Unity will only store this data through the end of May. After that, all shared project data will be deleted and only the local files on your computer will remain.

Solution:
In Unity Editor: Window → Package Manager → Collaborate → Remove
(Package Manager might be fetching/refreshing packages and takes forever, click refresh list and then close the Package Manager then re-open it)
Then: Edit → Project Settings → Services → Collaborate → Turn it OFF
(Appearing issues due to after removing collaborate from package manager it is still enabled on services, I had to double click to turn it off from services tab in project settings)
Finally: Restart the project

Issue: there is no “Collaborate” entry under Window → Package Manager. The nearest match is “Version Control”, which mentions Collaborate and PlasticSCM in its description.
Again, there is no mention of “Collaborate” under Edit → Project Settings → Services

In my case I went into the Services tab next to the inspector and found that Collaborate was set to ON. Turning it to OFF fixed my issue.
EDIT:
I also had a problem with In app purchasing and followed the instructions in the package description.

Yeah, in my case （2019.4.5f) also need turn off the collab in the service panel on the right side besides the inspector.
For future reference if anyone still has the problem: You need to switch off “Version Control” in services to turn on Plastic SCM

Thanks but it started “Compiling C# scripts” forever, but when I restarted Unity (killed the process and started the project) everything was OK.
