How to upgrade from Bitbucket Server v5.16 to v8.14

Question

Hi, I know support for server ends in a few days. I'd like to upgrade to the latest server version possibile, but I see we need an active subscription. So I have to upgrade to a program that will be retired in a few days or are there other possibilities? I'm on the free tier.

Thanks for your kind help!

You cannot upgrade as you need an active maintenance/licence - which renewal is not possible for SERVER licences anymore.

Therefore, you are stuck on this version of Bitbucket. Make sure it's not publicly accessible - it's an old, unsupported version with no upgrades.

If you really want to keep it, you'll need a datacenter licence:
