body: Hello Ram,

Thank you for your inquire.

Based on the error entry above, something is wrong with *\<bambo-home\>/bamboo.cfg.xml* configuration file. That said, I would kindly ask you to review it. Since you have mentioned you are installing Bamboo 5.3, I have the impression the "*license.string* " is formatted in **multi-lines** whereas it should be on a **single line**.

That said, please:

1. stop bamboo (*bring Bamboo server instance down*)
2. edit "\<bamboo-home\>/bamboo.cfg.xml" by placing your new license between "\<property name="license.string"\>\</property\>" tab:  

   ```
   ...    &lt;property name="hibernate.setup"&gt;true&lt;/property&gt;    &lt;property name="license.string"&gt;PLACE_YOUR_LICENSE_HERE&lt;/property&gt;    &lt;property name="lucene.index.dir"&gt;${bambooHome}/index&lt;/property&gt;...
   ```

3. start Bamboo

Please, notice that Bamboo is currently on v5.9.7 and I would strongly suggest you on installing a newest version. Please, refer to [Bamboo release notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-releases-671089224.html) documentation for reasons on upgrading Bamboo.

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.

body: Thanks Rafael P. Sperafico. This is due to my version of Java 1.8, that is not supported in Bamboo 5.3.
