We have purchased 4 products from you and I need to know in what order to install them.

Question

We are using Windows Server 2012 R2 with the PostgreSQL 9.6, I installed the Server Software already and when I try to install the Core it says Jira is already installed in the chosen directory, do I choose a different one. Please provide a procedure to follow for correct installation of these 4 products.

Which 4 products did you buy?

If you installed Jira Software already, then Jira Core is already installed.   Jira Core is a base that all Jira 7 installations will have.   However Jira Core is not always licensed in all installations.   As long as you have either a Jira Software or Jira Service Desk licensed already activated, then you don't technically need to license Jira Core to be able to use Jira itself.

You can still apply a Jira Core license to an existing site though. Since you already have Jira Software installed, you can just apply a Jira Core license to this same site.  You can do this by going to the Cog Icon -> Applications -> Versions & Licenses.  You will see there is an option there to enter a Jira Core license key.  This can be useful if you want to have users that can access issues in Jira, but don't need features like Agile Boards or Agile reporting that are only available to Jira Software users.

Hi and welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I removed your SEN number, this is a public forum so you do not want to make those available to the world.

Since you have installed Jira Software already you also have Jira Core installed. Jira Software gives you agile functionality, including the ability plan agile work from project backlog to sprint, which you do not get with Jira Core, see JIRA Software Vs JIRA Core : License.
