Any cost involved to get a bug fix release of Confluence server without Maintain contract

jannachang April 25, 2019

I am currently using Confluence 6.14.1 revision, and would like to upgrade to 6.14.2 bug fix release.  My maintenance contract expires on 2019.Feb.20.  Without a new maintenance contract, can I upgrade to 6.14.2 ?

You can upgrade to any version released before the end of your maintenance.  6.14.2 was released on the 3rd March 2019, so you can't upgrade to it without renewing.

Nic,  Thank you for your feedback. 

However, I am not clear why I am obliged to pay again for the bug fixes to the software I purchased earlier ?   Shouldn't a software firm be obligated for the bugs they created or failed to avoid/ take care of in their initial releases ???

Yes, they do fix bugs, in new software which costs money to develop.
