Confluence Server maintenance license expiring, can I still use it as per normal(create,edit pages)?

[Deleted user]

Hi, we are currently using Confluence Server and our maintenance license is going to expire in less than 20 days. [Need this reply urgently] We actually have a plan to renew our license for Confluence server but it might be after our license expire(after the 20 days). Would like to confirm:

1) Can we still use our Confluence as per normal for example users can still create,edit,delete pages and other functions we are currently using when our maintenance license expire? 

2) We can still renew our license after 20 days(license expired), correct?

3) Are there anything we need to be aware of?

Thank you!

Hi 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!!

Answer for the first question is :

The data/pages will be available to read after the confluence license expiry also. However, you cannot add new spaces or pages to the system after the license expiry.

Note:

What does end of support mean?

End of sale for new licenses

As of February 2, 2021 PT, we will no longer sell new licenses for our Server products and will cease new feature development in our Server product line.

No new feature development

As of February 2, 2022 PT, we will only provide security bug fixes for critical vulnerabilities until the end of support.

End of support

As of February 2, 2024 PT, your products will reach the end of support. 

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Mayur

Hi @Mayur Jadhav ,

Thank you for the prompt reply! Would like to also check with you that we can still renew our license after 20 days(license expired), correct?

Thanks for the note, have brought up to my team before, currently we have no plans to migrate to Cloud or Data Centre yet, we will continue to renew our license for Confluence Server:)

@Mayur Jadhav is it also correct to say that for the first question:

The data/pages will be available to read, edit and delete after the confluence license expiry & other functions we are currently using will still be working (only except for adding new spaces or pages) to the system after the license expiry.

Thank you!

@Mayur Jadhav regarding your response above, just wanted to confirm that you can't add new spaces or pages after maintenance expires?
