Additional clustered node licenses
Only Confluence Enterprise and Confluence Unlimited license holders can upgrade to a multi-node or clustered edition of Confluence. To upgrade to a multi-node or clustered edition of Confluence, you simply need to purchase a new additional clustered node license.
The maintenance period of your existing Confluence Enterprise or Confluence Unlimited license will be synchronised with the additional clustered node license accordingly.
Software maintenance (support & updates)
All non-free licenses come with 12 months of software maintenance (support and product updates). Beyond this initial 12 month period, you may renew your software maintenance for a further 12 months at our discounted renewal prices.
To understand the value that active software maintenance provides, please see: 'Why renew Confluence software maintenance?'

Community & Open Source licenses
Community
Confluence is free for use by official non-profit organisations and charities (proof of non-profit status is required). There are certain organisations whose purpose is to make the world a better place, and we believe in helping them achieve that.
Community licenses are designed for organisations which are:
- non-profit,
- non-government,
- non-academic,
- non-commercial,
- non-political and
- secular
in nature, that would not otherwise be able to afford Confluence. If your organisation is philanthropic in nature then you probably qualify.
Open Source
Atlassian supports and believes in the Open Source movement - Confluence utilises a number of good Open Source components, and Atlassian developers are committers on a large number of Open Source projects.
To give back to the open source community (and hopefully improve the quality of those projects!), Confluence is free for any Open Source project to use.
There are a few requirements for an Open Source license, the main ones being:
- Established code base
- Publicly available project website
- Using an approved open source license
- Your Confluence instance will be publicly accessible
Personal licenses
You can use Confluence as your personal wiki for free.
- Limited to two users.
- The Personal License doesn't include support from Atlassian.
Licensing terms
A Confluence commercial/academic license entitles you to:
- Deploy a single instance of Confluence in a production environment on 1 server accessible by the number of users licensed
- Unlimited pages, spaces and comments
- Perpetual Confluence use
- Software maintenance for 12 months - including all updates and online support (from Sydney, Australia and San Francisco, USA during local business hours)
- Full source code (under a developer source license which allows for broad customisation)
Licensing fees are quoted per total number of 'Confluence users'. A Confluence user is by definition any user account in the Confluence system with the 'use' permission, i.e. anyone who can view the site while logged in. Unlimited 'anonymous users' are permitted on all licenses.
An academic license is available for qualified educational and academic institutions (learn more).
