Let me elaborate the situation in detail  :* Currently we are having JIRA/JIRA-Agile/Tempo license and running on our internal server. Licenses are valid till Jan 2016.  
* Due to some internal reason we need to stop this server, format it and move the JIRA to ‘temporary’ server for another 3-4 months. As currently licenses are valid so should not face any issue.
* The main question is after 3-4 months (I.e. After Jan 2016)  when we want to move back JIRA (Re-install it) to our original server whether we would be able to do that  as it is a perpetual license ? 
* Please note that we don’t intend to run 2 instances of JIRA on 2 separate servers. It would be always one instance at any given time – it’s just that due to some reason we will need to switch between servers.

I'm not sure I understand what you're planning to do here, but:

* You can only have one JIRA server for each licence.  You must not run two JIRA Production servers with the same licence
* You can only run a version of JIRA released before the expiry date of your licence
