How to update bitbucket server version 5.10 to the latest version.

[josephgl]

First, we have the starter license, good for 10 users. Do we get to update to the latest version of Bitbucket Server with that license?

If yes then how should we perform the update without risking damage to the current repositories?

Hi @josephgl, thanks for reaching out!

You can find step by step instructions at Bitbucket Server upgrade guide. You'll be able to update to the latest version for free if you have an active Software maintenance licence, which is included with all Server accounts during the first year. After that, you'll need to renew it if you like to benefit from its advantages. You can read more about renewal pricing at Bitbucket Server licensing. 

If you decide yo go ahead with the upgrade, keep in mind that Bitbucket 7 is a major upgrade, so be sure to take a full backup, and test your upgrade in a non-production environment before upgrading your production site.

Hope that helps you. Joseph! Let us know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Ana
