Resolution
Shut Down Confluence
- Restart Confluence
If you're not able to remove the plugin from UI, please remove the plugin from the database :Shut Down Confluence
Run the following queries in the database :
select PLUGINDATAID, PLUGINKEY, FILENAME, LASTMODDATE from PLUGINDATA WHERE PLUGINKEY = 'com.atlassian.upm.plugin-license-storage-plugin'; delete from PLUGINDATA where PLUGINDATAID='<INSERT-ID-HERE>';Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
Restart Confluence
