Confluence 2.8 Documentation

Index

The 'License Details' page tells you:

  • How many users your Confluence instance is licensed to support, and how many are currently registered.
    Note: The number of registered users only includes users who have 'can use Confluence' permission. Deactivated users are not included.
    Click the 'Refresh' button to make sure you see the latest count.
  • What type of license you have (e.g. Commercial, Academic, Community).
  • How much time remains in your one-year support and upgrades period (for full licenses) or 30-day trial (for trial licenses).
  • Your server ID, which:
    • is generated when you install Confluence for the first time
    • exists for the life of the Confluence instance
    • survives an upgrade
    • is held in the database
    • is not bound to a specific license
    • is the same for all servers in a cluster.


To view the details of your Confluence license,

  1. Log into Confluence as a user with Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions.
  2. Go to the 'Administration Console' view. To do this:

    • Go to a page in the space and choose 'Administration' from the 'User' menu, which is labelled with your Confluence username. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  3. Click 'License Details' under the heading 'Administration in the left-hand panel.

If you need to downgrade your Confluence license to one which allows fewer users, please make sure first that your new license covers your current user base.

    Hi there,

    Thank you.

      Hi,

      To my understanding, the evaluation license is only valid for 500 users and last for 30 days from the time it is generated. If you are keen on different limit of evaluation license, I would suggest you to contact and seek for advice from our sales team at:

    The Licensed Users values include the admin user. Does this user count against the number of licensed users. I don't think it should since its a default account and can't be deactivated.

      Hi there,

      To my understanding, the Admin user does counted against the number of licensed users. However, if there are other users possess the site Administrator permissions (belongs to the confluence-administrators group at least) the default Admin user can then be deactivated.
      If I have misinterpreted your questions, please further clarify for a better understand.

      Cheers,
      Tony
