Hi Balaji, You may check with or contact the Atlassian support on this issue since you have a Data center license. Usually, the below procedure also works and suggest you try it out in a Test / Stage environment first. Please keep a backup of the below items for a safer side Confluence home directory Database Dump In order to change the license back to server, please do the following; * shutdown the confluence instance * open confluence.cfg.xml (inside confluence-home directory) and check for XXXXXXXXXXX * Verify if this is your Datacenter license. If it is, then remove the license add the server license (ex: replace XXXXXXXXX with AAAAAAAAAAA) If AAAAAAA will be your server license. * save the file and start the confluence. You will not be prompted with data center wizard. thanks

need help, can we update developer license from backend in confluence so that it skips migration to datacenter setup wizard. Attached screenshot. I need to skip this migration as we dont want to go to datacenter and should stay in single server only.
