      Thank you for upgrading Confluence. The license format for this new version has changed. In order to complete your upgrade and continue using Confluence, you will need to upgrade your current Confluence license. This upgrade does not incur any additional costs and does not change Confluence's functionality in any way.

      You can upgrade your license here or for step-by-step instructions please refer to our documentation.

      If you cannot upgrade your existing Confluence license, please generate a temporary evaluation license. This will allow you to proceed with the upgrade and give you time to generate a compatible license.

      Please upgrade your license at https://my.atlassian.com to version 2 license.
