Is there a way for me to add the new License The "/fixonly/fixlicense.action" page is not responding Edited

Hi, I just upgraded Confluence and upon starting i received the following error:

Confluence support and upgrades for your current license have expired.

Please access My Atlassian as the license contact and purchase a license renewal for Confluence. If you have a new license, please enter it on this page and restart.

I get that it's trying to direct me to a license renewal page, however that page is not responsive. 

/fixonly/fixlicense.action

How should I proceed? Is there a way for me to add the new License key from the console?

Confluence would not let me edit the license after the upgrade. I was stuck out of the system with no option to renew the license. It was a cold, cold place.

I did however find an article that pointed me to the right file. I used nano to edit the license key, and a simple restart was all it took. I'm back in the system yay!

Here's the article:

Hi Mike,

Once you've renewed your license via my.atlassian.com and you have the new key, can you try and enter it in your license page?
