Update License details while upgradation of Jira Software

Question

Hi Team,

Can you please let us know the procedure to update the license if we are upgrading the Jira software to a newer version (say 7.11 to 8.5).

and we are trying to upgrade using the Jira Server (Installer ) method.

Will it automatically update and keep the existing details and we need to do some other procedures.

Thanks

Balaji K
