    Description

      On initial JIRA 4.4 setup, if you import a JIRA data file that contains an expired licence, the admin gets stuck with no way to fix the licence.

      1) Start up a brand new JIRA 4.4 instance.
      2) Import an XML file with an expired lience.
      3) The import is completed but the instance shows a Johnson screen:

      There is no way provided to fix the licence and continue with using the instance. The only workaround is to delete the database and start again from scratch.

      In previous versions of JIRA, this error message linked to a page where you could update the licence.
