Updating your Bamboo license details
When you upgrade or renew your Bamboo license, you will receive a new license key. You will need to update your Bamboo server with the new license key.
See the Licensing FAQ if you have questions about licensing.
Before updating the license:
- It's recommended to back up the
license.string
contents found in<bamboo-home>/bamboo.cfg.xml
before attempting any license changes. This is particularly useful if the applied license needs to be rolled back. - Some vendors may require different licenses once the main Bamboo license is modified. Suppose any custom apps or plugins are used in Bamboo. In that case, we recommend that before updating any new licenses, reach out to every third-party vendor and validate if any of the plugins would require additional licenses after the new Bamboo license is applied.
To update your Bamboo license key:
- In the upper-right corner of the screen, selectAdministration> Overview.
- In the sidebar, under System, select License details.
- Paste your new license into License key.
- Select Save new license.
- If you're using Bamboo Data Center in a warm standby cluster, Bamboo secondary nodes will not update their license keys automatically. Modify the
license.string
contents found in<bamboo-local-home>/bamboo.cfg.xml
manually and restart Bamboo on the secondary nodes.
