What will happen when Confluence plugins reach service end date and not renew

[Cindy]

Our company is using Confluence server version, and we have purchased around 20 plugins/add-ons for Confluence.

My question is about the MA. If we do not renew the plugins, will the plugins still available to use or not? The pages and contents published using the plugins, will be invalid after one year of our purchase?

Thanks.

The plugins will continue to function, You just lose the right to upgrades and supports. Your plan should be to upgrade to the latest version before you go of maintanence. 

This strategy can work well if you are going to stay at a given version of Confluence and not upgrade. Basically you just freeze your configuration.

Really thanks for your information. This is really helpful.

I guess the plugins will continue to work until you will have a Confluence version that is not supported, then issues might arise. 

And in my opnion you are no longer entitled to contact support or install new versions of the plugins.

To be sure you best contact the vendor of the plugin.
