Bitbucket - Updating the license from standalone to datacenter

[Abdul Rahman Abdul Kather]

Our bitbucket support license expired and we are looking for the renewal. We also took a quote for the same. Before paying the quote, we would want to check if our current bitbucket stand alone server can be migrated from IBM softlayer to Azure. While checking that, we found that only bitbucket datacenter version is supported in Azure. Ours is a single node instance and not a cluster.

Could you please confirm if just updating the license from standalone to datacenter should be enough to do the migration for a single node instance? What would be the cost for the datacenter version? What kind of support would we get from Atlassian during the migration.

Hi @Abdul Rahman Abdul Kather

Yes, you can just update the Bitbucket license from server to datacenter one as Atlassian has stop selling the server licenses from feb 2021, For generating the trial licenses you will see only two options Cloud and Datacenter as shown below 

Could you please confirm if just updating the license from standalone to datacenter should be enough to do the migration for a single node instance? Yes, you can just update the license and that's you will get all features for data center on your application for standalone/single node as well, Please follow the below document for more information

What would be the cost for the datacenter version? Please follow the below link for the datacenter pricing

I would suggest get in touch with any Atlassian partner and they will guide you through all the process and can offer some discount as well

What kind of support would we get from Atlassian during the migration: You can create a support ticket with Atlassian https://support.atlassian.com/ 1-2 week before your scheduled migration day and they will be available for your help as free support is included in the commercial purchase. 

let me know if you have questions on this.
