Can I have a Jira cloud instance for practice and learning for free after 7-day trial?

[Vinu]

I have a Jira server instance installed in my system for my own practice and learning. I put in a 30 day licence and when that expires I just simply raise another one from my atlassian id portal and use it. So it is like I can have a free private instance for learning.

I am trying to get a Jira cloud account for the same purpose. I know there is a 7-day free trial. But after that will we be able to extend the service as with server?

That is illegal as it breaks the terms of your licence agreement.  You should be using a developer licence for this (it's under your full production licence in the product lists in your my.atlassian account)

For Cloud, you can also use a developer system - see https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started/

Hey @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Thanks alot for pointing out the illegal part of it. No one ever told me anything about this.

I just had a gut thought, since I was using this for my personal learning it would be fine.

And yes, I will definitely move to using developer licence.
