Jira wants to upgrade to 8.5.2 but installer unavailable

[Andy]

We want to upgrade to the latest server version on our Jira installations, the upgrade is calling for version 8.5.2 of Jira Software and Jira Server, but 8.5.1 (03-Nov-2019) is the latest version available to server users (as of 16-Dec-2019) at the following link: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/update . There is a latest Enterprise version of 8.5.2, but we are server, not Enterprise. Can we upgrade using this installer?

The update Jira (Administration --> Versions and Licenses) dialog within core specifies:

Where can I find 8.5.2, or do I go with the Enterprise version, or do I just have to wait for it to be available?

Thanks...

Hello Andy,

You can install an enterprise version on server version. Enterprise version is something Atlassian introduced recently and they are meant for environments where you dont have the option to upgrade often. You can install that enterprise version, if you go to the URL below you can read more about enterprises versions. https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/atlassian-enterprise-releases-948227420.html?_ga=2.217683158.1935729204.1576525606-930573636.1574053760

Our Enterprise releases are designed specifically  for larger, more complex instances – ones that require significant planning and effort to upgrade. We understand that upgrades for such instances can be few and far between, and so every upgrade needs to count.  So if you can manage only one feature release upgrade every year, make sure you upgrade to the latest Enterprise release.

Thanks Edwin. So I'm good to go with the Enterprise version. 

Appreciate the rapid reply.
