I am just about to puchase Service Desk and Software. Can these two apps be installed on to separate servers and still interact? Do they both need to be accessing a single database?
You can put them on separate servers, but they will be separate applications.
Both Software and Service Desk are applications that add functionality to JIRA Core, but are still based on issues in projects. As you will be installing them as two servers, there will be two sets of issues, and there will not be any "interaction" unless you set something up to allow them to talk to each other. They will need separate databases, as a JIRA installation needs exclusive access to its own database.
If you want them to work together, the best option is to install a single JIRA Core with both applications installed. I generally recommend installing JIRA Software (i.e. Core + Software) and then adding Service Desk second.
Hello Nic,
Isn't JSD a separate application altogether i.e. no longer a plugin. It can be integrated via application link with JIRA software

No, Software and Service desk are JIRA applications. They're not add-ons, but neither are they "separate applications".
They are applications that add functionality to JIRA Core. They do not run standalone, they run inside (or on top of if you like) JIRA Core.
The downloads you can get for JIRA are
An application link between two JIRA instances will not provide much more than simple linking between two separate installations. It won't provide what you get from having the two applications installed on the same JIRA instance because the issues are totally separate.
Yes, Indeed. I do know about JIRA software using JIRA core since I also manage JIRA Software at a client. But in this case what's the best possible way to install JSD on the existing JIRA software application as the plugin option is no longer present.
