Confluence 3.5 : Confluence 3.0.2 Upgrade Notes
This page last changed on Mar 02, 2011 by smaddox.
Below are some important notes on upgrading to Confluence 3.0.2. Confluence 3.0.2 is a recommended upgrade which fixes some security flaws as well as other bugs. For more details, please read the Confluence 3.0.2 Release Notes. On this page: Upgrade NotesClusterManager for Non-Clustered Licenses causes Critical ErrorsThe ClusterManager in the non-clustered (i.e. you do not have a clustered license) implementations of Confluence 3.0.1 and Confluence 3.0.2 does not perform any locking (e.g. for job synchronisation). As a result, your Confluence instance may crash due to certain jobs being executed concurrently when they shouldn't be. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to Confluence 3.1 or later to avoid this issue, if possible. If you wish to install or upgrade to a non-clustered implementation of Confluence 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, you must apply the patch attached to CONF-17136 after upgrading. New License Key Requirements for Confluence 3.1The next major release of Confluence (version 3.1) will require Confluence administrators to upgrade (or have upgraded) their Confluence license to Atlassian's new license key format. We are undertaking this change to enhance and improve the support we provide our customers. Bear in mind that this license upgrade will not incur any additional costs and does not change Confluence's functionality in any way. Confluence 3.0.2 will still operate as usual under your existing Confluence license. However, any customers running Confluence 3.0.0 or later will be able to upgrade their Confluence license to the new license key format before Confluence 3.1 is released. Customers whose licenses expire before Confluence 3.1 is released will be required to upgrade their license to the new license key format. As a consequence of these imminent licensing changes, relevant pages of the Administration Console area in Confluence 3.0.2 contain warnings about Atlassian's new license key requirement, which will be mandatory in Confluence 3.1. Links to upgrade old licenses to the new license key format are provided in these warnings. Upgrading an Existing Confluence License for Confluence 3.1 Compatibility
The following procedure can only be performed by Confluence Administrators, on Confluence versions 3.0.0 or later. To upgrade your existing license to the new license key format, which will be required for continued use of Confluence 3.1:
