Where to apply Confluence developer license if confluence site won't start/open after an upgrade?

Site Admin_ayrez9

I've just upgraded from Confluence 6.15 to Confluence 7.4 in our Dev Confluence site & now the site won't open, I think its because I hadn't applied the new Developer license key.

Which config XML file can I apply the new Developer license instead? Thanks.

Just apply the correct license below if you can't via the Confuence site....etc:

Shutdown Confluence

Edit the <confluence-home>\confluence.cfg.xml
o Find the License line:
o
o <property name="atlassian.license.message">AAA......................</property>
o Obtain your latest Developer license from https://my.atlassian.com and manually paste it into <property name="atlassian.license.message">..../property in a single line
Start Confluence

Below is the fix for the SQL error I received:

. Open up the Tomcat Properties Window
o Open up the services.msc panel
o Find the Confluence Service and right click on the Service Name and click Properties
o Copy the Service Name to the clipboard
o Open up a Command Prompt with Administrative rights and run this command:
o
o
o cd "D:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence\Confluence\bin"
o tomcat9w.exe //ES//SERVICE_NAME_FROM_ABOVE
o Once the Tomcat properties Window opens,, click on the Java tab
o In the Java options box, find these two lines and change these two lines:
 FROM

 -Djdk.tls.server.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
 -Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
 TO
Ensure to leave these on separate lines

-Djdk.tls.server.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
o Save
Start Confluence
