I cannot find the linnk to create a developers license for offline testing.

[IT Admin]

I read a document on the Atalssian site on how to create a developers license for offline testing and etc.  I cannot find the link it refers to for my products.  How do I enable this?

Hi Kris,

1. Go to my.atlassian.com
2. Find the appropriate product (Jira/Jira Software/Jira Service Desk).
3. Click the plus sign next to a JIRA license to view its details.
4. Click the 'View Developer License' link in the bottom right corner of the license detail panel, below your commercial license key.

Steps are from the article you linked :)

Hope that helps

Sorry I posted that above message from Kris's account instead of my own.

Thank you for replying, however I followed those exact steps, I did see them and it looks very straight forward, but when I go to our account at it@ixsystems.com I do not see the link referenced for any of our products.  This is why I am contacting support.

Thank you, I was able to follow the steps before.  They are pretty straight forward.  My issue is, in my account, there is not the link that is mentioned in the article.  There is no "View Developer License"  This is the issue I am having.

The Previous message Kris sent was actually from me.

Hi Jaron,

What license do you have?

If you're on a starter licence (10 users Jira/Jira Software, or 3 agents Jira Service Desk), then you won't have a developer licence. If you're on any higher user tier, there should be a link there.

Ahh then that would be the issue.

We actually have several licenses. 3 starter license for various departments to do their own thing without disrupting the others and a community license for the FreeNAS project

Thank you we will have to figure something else out i guess.  We just wanted to take our existing Community licensed (FreeNAS bug tracker) instance and put it in a test environment so we could adjust workflows and play with various things without disrupting the current instance. 

Seems this is a simple ask that should be supported. it surprises me there is not a way to do this.

Hi Jaron,

Glad we sorted it - only commercial and academic licenses have developer licenses. I know that starter licenses require you to purchase another one, and it would seem that the same goes for community (well applying for another one).

If it's only temporary, you can apply the same license key for your non-production environment in order to test your configuration changes.

Good luck!

[IT Admin]

can you elaborate more on temporary?  as in .. if we just use it for a few weeks to develop a solution then spin it down?

I do not think this is what I am looking for.

What I want to do is create a second instance of my existing Jira Server that is for development uses.  not production.  I am not developing marketplace apps and I want to host this on my own server.

I came across this article but I do not have the link it describes.
