Migrate JIRA from linux to windows

Question

Hi all,

I have to move one JIRA instance from a linux server to a windows server. I was thinking in a staging server (moving the install folder, the data folder and the database).

If I have a JIRA installed in the new server (same version), can I move the data folder and the database, configure the bin and conf folders and start the migrated JIRA?

Thank you in advance.

So one has an opportunity to apply dev license licenses to plugins as without interfering with production. Good to know.

Thanks

It will try to use the licence, but that won't affect your production rig.

I'm trying to setup a staging server and installing JIRA with a Dev license went fine, however if I copy over the home directory and start staging JIRA, will my plugins attempt to start using the production license? Will this in any way affect the production Jira?
