This issue has been fixed and the solution will be shipped as part of future confluence releases, beginning with confluence 1.4. In the interim, if you are experiencing this problem, see below.

Some users have recently reported problems when installing Confluence regarding licensing. This problem is encountered in the first stage of the Setup Wizard, where a provided license will simply not validate.The log file resembles the below.

2005-04-24 20:56:13,240 WARN [confluence.license.decoder.LicenseDecoder] Signature did not verify properly.
2005-04-24 20:56:13,267 WARN [confluence.license.decoder.LicenseDecoder] Signature did not verify properly.
2005-04-24 20:56:13,270 FATAL [confluence.setup.actions.SetupLicenseAction] License is not valid

Our own testing shows that this problem replicates under Windows XP, Service Pack 2 with with JDKs 1.4.2_08, 1.5_02 . The problem does not occur when running JDK 1.4.2_07 and below.

A simple workaround is to download the file in attachment, Page.key, and place it in the WEB-INF/classes directory of your Confluence installation beneath the following path:

WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/page/Page.key

Here it will load correctly and the license will validate.
