Is it possible to activate a trial of BitBucket BEFORE switching from SVN

[Normand Carbonneau]

We are currently using FishEye/Crucible with SVN as part of our OnDemand hosted solution.

I want to try BitBucket in my environment BEFORE doing the switch, so, I can simulate the move and train my users until we are ready to move ahead with the switch.

Is it possible? If not, what do you propose?

Thanks, Normand

Bitbucket is FREE for any team at/under 5 users. You can simply create a new test account on Bitbucket at any time by visiting https://bitbucket.org/account/signup/. You can then manually configure the team in your OnDemand account following our guides.

This way you can use Bitbucket very nearly exactly the same way you would if you activated it in OnDemand. To get started today, do the following:

• Sign Up - https://bitbucket.org/account/signup/
• Take the Bitbucket 101 - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Bitbucket+101
• Setup the JIRA DVCS connector - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Linking+Bitbucket+and+GitHub+accounts+to+JIRA
• Read over our migration guide and give it a try - http://go-dvcs.atlassian.com/display/aod/Migration+Introduction

Again, this is 100% FREE all the time as long as < 5 users have access to the Bitbucket account. Also, support is provided here or through support.atlassian.com.
