Free Licensing option for "Home Lab" Jira Data Center?

Aaron Duncan

I find myself administering Jira Data Center in a lot of my jobs, and so would like to setup an instance in my home lab for research purposes.

This instance would have myself as the only user.

I'd like to have this instance running long term (longer than 90 days) but don't wish to deal with the licensing costs.

I am under the impression that the free trial license can only be renewed up to 90 days?

Is there an option for my use case that allows a free license, but for extremely low user count? (such as "0-10 users")

Hi @Aaron Duncan ,

Welcome to the community !!

If you already part of Billing / Technical contact for any Jira data center, then you can generate a Developer License for testing purposes. You can use this license for non-product-related installations on a cold standby server. This license will be provided free-of-charge. The date of expiration of the Developer License is the date of expiration of your product license.

You generate this key by following these steps:

1. Log in to my.atlassian.com
2. Click on the list to expand the license details by the license you want generate a key for.
3. In the details click on “View Developer License”.
4. A license key is generated. Transfer this key via copy & paste to your data center.
