Summary
This article will cover what happens when a Bitbucket license expires.
Environment
Bitbucket Data Center.
Solution
Bitbucket Data Center has an annual subscription model. Once the license expires, the Bitbucket application switches part of its operations to read-only mode and requests a new license key. Access to support is also lost when the license expires.
Here is a list of components whose behavior is changed when a Bitbucket Data Center license expires:
- Users can't push code.
- Shows a warning to Administrators about expired licenses with a link to the 'Update license' page.
- Shows a Read-only mode banner for other users.
Our licensing policy can change from time to time, so it's best to check our Purchasing and Licensing FAQ for the latest information.
