License verification from behind firewall where Internet access is blocked

Question

Hi,

We'll be installing an instance of Jira on a server (Win 2008) which does not have access to the Internet (due to company policy regarding this category of server).

Will this cause us issues when providing the license key as part installing Jira?  Does Jira need to access the Internet as part of the license verification process?

Thanks

Nope: JIRA doesn't need to "phone home."  You should be fine with out internet, save for installing plugins from the UPM (as UPM needs to get those from the internet).
