Does importing a PROD backup into a TEST environment cause issues with the PROD instance?

Question

I successfully imported a TEST backup into another TEST environment (using the latest Jira version). The evaluation license just transferred over with no issues.

However, if I import a PROD backup into a non-PROD instance, will that cause issues with the PROD license being on two different servers? Just concerned that the PROD instance will have issues.

Thanks!!

No, importing your prod backup on a test environment will not affect your prod instance, just make sure that you turn off email notifications on the test server. I do this in my environment when we prepare for updates and testing out new apps.
