When your Bamboo license expires, your Bamboo instance (Data Center version 8 and above) switches to read-only mode. This means:
-
You can still log in and view previous builds and download artifacts.
-
You cannot run new builds or deployments, queue builds, or make changes.
-
A warning banner will notify administrators about the expired license and direct them to update the license key.
-
You lose access to Atlassian support until you renew your license.
To reopen your Bamboo account and regain full functionality, you or your administrator must update the license:
-
Get a new valid license key from my.atlassian.com.
-
Go to Bamboo Administration → Overview → System → License details.
-
Paste the new license in the License Key field and save.
-
If you're using a multi-node setup, update the license in the bamboo.cfg.xml file and restart Bamboo on all nodes if needed.
If you do not update your license, Bamboo will remain in read-only mode; your data and old builds remain safe, but you cannot trigger new builds or make further changes.
Yes, Bamboo licenses have an expiry date, after which the restrictions above are applied
