Overview

These are some generic tips and techniques to help resolve add-on app installation or licensing problems. In many cases, installation problems are not specific to the add-onapp, but instead, relate to general usage or issues with theAtlassian Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) or  or the underlying plugin system. Generally speaking, most recent versions of add-ons apps on this site are built using Atlassian's plugin 2 framework and all paid add-ons apps use Atlassian licensing support. Installation is provided by UPM. Licensing support is also provided by UPM except for older versions of UPM. If these tips don't resolve your issue, it is likely you will need to open an Atlassian support ticket. 

...

If you see in product license errors, go to UPM and look at the details app information and license information. This is the information that must be reported to support.

License problems

error

Manage add-ons shows the add-on apps shows the app with the follow error:

License is for an older version and maintenance has expired.

This will show shows in situations where the installed add-on installed app was built after the expiry date of your maintenance support. This is a valid error. You either need to get a more current license or un-install the add-on , or, uninstall the app and install an earlier version that is within your maintenance window.

If this is not your situation, in some cases this error may show incorrectly on JIRA Jira versions before JIRA Jira 6.4 and Confluence versions before Confluence 5.7. This is a UPM bug bug UPM-4565. 

Alternatives:

  1. Update JIRA Jira or Confluence to a release where the bug is fixed. At ; at least JIRA Jira 6.4 or Confluence 5.7.
  2. Renew the maintenance for the add-onapp.
  3. Use a temporary evaluation license until you can resolve the issue.

Incompatible with

product license

After upgrading the Confluence license or upgrading the Universal Plugin Manager add-onapp, one or more add-ons apps stop working. When reviewing the add-ons apps in the Universal Plugin Manager, the text "Incompatible with Product License (wrong type)" is seen in the License Status field.

or Or, functions report the following error message: Notify your Confluence administrator that "Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons Apps ..." requires a valid license. Reason: TYPE_MISMATCH.

  1. Update UPM to the latest level and retry - this will solve solves many cases (UPM-4783).
  2. Make sure you check all your other add-ons apps for similar problems! 
  3. If you still have issues, contact contact sales@atlassian.com to  to have them generate compatible licenses for all the add-ons apps that need it. While you are waiting, consider:
    1. Reverting your Confluence license change until till Atlassian generates new and compatible licenses.
    2. Get an evaluation license until a permanent license is available.
  4. See this this Confluence Knowledge Base item. 

...

VERSION_MISMATCH error

A license is invalid if the app's build date is greater than or equal to the license's maintenance expiration date. That isFor example, if the license says that support is only available through 1/1/2012, then an existing installation of a app version with a build date of 1/1/2011 will continue working continues to work indefinitely, but, if you install a new version built on 1/2/2012 or later, it will not work with the old license.

problems

Plugin disabled

Users may report macros no longer working in Confluence or similar problems with JIRA Jira or Bamboo. The plugin may have become disabled because of installation of other add-ons apps or for other reasons. See See UPM-2893 for for instance.

Resolution steps

  1. Go to UPM.
  2. Enable all the add-ons apps that should must be enabled.
  3. If the plugin still cannot be enabled:
    1. Uninstall the plugin
    2. Re-install the plugin
    3. You may need to re-install the license
  4. If the plugin still cannot be enabled:
    1. Consider restarting the server
    2. Look in your server logs for installation errors and errors and clues
    3. Depending on the information you find, either open a support issue with Atlassian support (UPM) or plugin vendor (something indicating it is specific to the plugin)

app

No Format
An error occurred while installing the add-onapp. Refer to the logs for more information.

This is an error with UPM 2.17.5 and fixed on 2.17.7. Unfortunately, some product releases contain the failing UPM including at least JIRA Jira 6.3.4 and Confluence 5.6. See See UPM-4581.

In this particular case, the add-on app actually installs successfully and the error message can be ignored. The workaround is to update UPM to the latest level before installing any add-onsapps.
