Cannot upgrade

[Matic B.]

Hello,

I recently tried installing the latest version of Confluence Server since it will stop being supported on February 15th, and I was unable to, because of this error:

This Confluence version doesn't support Server licenses. Enter a valid Data Center license to continue. Learn more about Atlassian Server end of support

I cannot find anything useful there and why I cannot use a newer version if I paid for the license until the EOL.

If anyone knows what is going on, I would highly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Best, Matic

Hi @Matic B. ,

probably you tried to install a DataCenter confluence with a server license. Confluence 8.5.x was the last version to support server license. Confluence 8.6.x and above is data center only. 

Try to upgrade your instace to 8.5.4 (the latest available for Confluence server) - https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives

Hope this helps,

Fabio
