When is the correct timing to update license of JIRA?

Mel mel1

Before importing the JIRA instance & restoring the backup to another server, must we update the license?

Else, upon restoration of JIRA to another server, will it still be possible to update the license information?

For older JIRA version, e.g. 3.3, do you know if it is still possible to renew the license?

For importing JIRA instance (older version like 3.1 or 3.2 which are using the default DB (HSQL)), is it correct that only data & user information backup can be restored? And for attachment we will need to back up the attachment folder separately and restore back the same folder in the new server - JIRA directory?

Thanks.

You can up date the licence before or after, although if you are migrating from an older version you will need to upgrade before it will accept the 4.0+ licence.

It's out of support, check with sales.

No, everything can be restored/upgraded.

Correct.
