Is it possible to upgrade to a Version within maintance peroid after the mantance has expired?

Tabe

Hi there,

a customer has a confluence version 7.10.0 (Server) Starter License, and their maintenance for confluence expired on June 16th 2021. Now they are facing an Indexing issue where while indexing the progress stops halfway through the process. As a result, their search is not working. 

My questions are multifold

1. Is it possible to upgrade to version 7.12.2 as it was released on 01 June 2021 without any issues? Also assuming that would solve the indexing problem.
2. Could something else cause the Indexing problem?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, hints and Ideas.

Regards

Tabe

Hi @Tabe , 

You you tried re-indexing from scratch?

Yes, you should be able to upgrade to any version that was published in your license period. 
Will it be without any issues? Upgrades rarely are, so please test this on a separate instance and provide backups. 

Please also find some other index issues here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/when-rebuilding-the-content-indexing-it-is-marked-as-rebuild-failed-but-it-keeps-progressing-afterwards-1318891784.html

Please provide more detailed error messages or logs if the problem persists.
