If we have a license for Jira Server, can we buy a license for DataCenter

[Андрей Орлов]

If we have a license for Jira Server, can we buy a license for DataCenter after March 30, 2026, for example in November 2026?

Hi @Андрей Орлов,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The short answer is no, you will not be able to purchase Data Center licenses after March 30, 2026 at 23:59 PST, as outlined in the Data Center EOL FAQ

Hi @Андрей Орлов ,

Short answer: no — having a Jira Server license does not allow you to buy a new Jira Data Center license after March 30, 2026.

According to the official end-of-life timeline from Atlassian:

• March 30, 2026 is the last date to purchase new Jira Data Center licenses.

• After that date, new Data Center licenses are no longer sold, regardless of whether you previously had Jira Server.

• Only existing Data Center customers can continue to renew and upgrade their licenses until March 30, 2028.

• Full end of support follows later.

So if you don’t already have a Jira Data Center license before March 30, 2026, you won’t be able to buy one later (for example, in November 2026).

Kindly let us know whether your current platform is Cloud or Data Center. Also, please advise if licenses can continue to be procured for the existing setup, given that Atlassian plans to end Data Center support in 2029.

Hello @priyanka naik 

Are you trying to provide an answer to the original author? Or are you trying to get an answer to the question you posted?

To answer your question, if your current platform is Jira Server, those licenses can no longer be purchased or extended.

If your current platform is Jira Data Center, refer to the FAQs here:

https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/data-center-end-of-life#data-center-eol-general-questions.

If your current platform is Jira Cloud you can continue to renew your Cloud subscription. I would advise against reverting to Jira Data Center because of the EOL plans.

Hello @Андрей Орлов 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Has your Server license expired?

Based on the information available here, it is unclear to me if a customer that has an Server license (expired or not expired) is still consider an "existing" customer.

For an authoritative answer I advise you to submit that question directly to Atlassian's Billing/Licensing/Pricing team by completing the form available here:
