Using the SharePoint Connector with a Confluence Starter License

The SharePoint Connector is not compatible with the Confluence Starter License. The SharePoint Connector license that you purchase must match the corresponding Confluence license. Because we do not offer a starter license for the SharePoint Connector, the SharePoint Connector will not recognize a Confluence Starter License.

As a result, you will see a message like this if you are using a Confluence Starter License:

com.atlassian.confluence.extra.sharepoint.licensing.LicenseException: Didn't recognize Confluence license type (Confluence: Starter). Another type needs to be added to the SharePoint Plugin.

As a workaround, you can get the SharePoint Connector going with an evaluation license. This kind of license will work with a Confluence Starter License.
