Is there a upgrade procedure for bamboo 6.2.2 to latest version ?
Asked by Andr?-Vincent Boivin:

Is there a upgrade procedure for bamboo 6.2.2 to the latest community version ?

The version I have seems to now be called "starter version". It stopped working last week because of the old API deprecation, we would like to upgrade our bamboo so it uses the new API version.

Is there a way to simply make my current bamboo use the bitbucket API v2 ?

This is the error we're getting which I believe is going to force me into upgrading the installation :

**Failed to load data from Bitbucket. com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.bitbucket.api.BitbucketApiException: HTTP 410 {"type": "error", "error": {"message": "Resource removed", "detail": "This API is no longer supported.\\n\\nFor information about its removal, please refer to the deprecation notice at: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/deprecation-notice-v1-apis/>"}}**

Anyhow, here's the current version of my installation

### Bamboo version information {#toc-hId-1087180335}

Version6.2.2

Build number60209

Build date10/13/17

What is the most straightforward upgrade procedure I could follow so I don't lose my current jobs configurations ?

**Short response**

* You can either upgrade your Bamboo instance or use a workaound.
* To upgrade Bamboo use this: [Bamboo upgrade guide - Atlassian Documentation.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-upgrade-guide-720411366.html)
* The workaround is using GIT repository type ([Git - Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/git-289277007.html)) instead of bitbucket.

Assuming your license is still valid, you can upgrade Bamboo to the latest version available.

If your license is expired, you can still update your Bamboo if there is any Bamboo version released before your license expiration date.

* You can see details about your license through <https://my.atlassian.com>
* You can check the Bamboo release dates through [Bamboo Download Archives \| Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download-archives)

The name **starter version (** better-called**Starter License)**is not connected to the API limitation you mentioned. This is just the license type you have which gives you support only through Community.

* More details about this license type can be found here:  
  [Bamboo Server Licensing - Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/bamboo)

<br />

The API limitation is a recent change needed due to become compliant with [GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)](https://eugdpr.org/). There are more details about this at:

Yes, as described in the article shared above ("Unable to add or edit Bitbucket..."). You need to use the Git repository type.

The upgrade path is described in this document:

* [Bamboo upgrade guide - Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-upgrade-guide-720411366.html)
