Upgrade Jira 8.5.1 to Jira 8.22.6

[Gregory BONNARDEL]

Hi all,

I have a Jira Software version 8.5.1. I would like to upgrade it to version 8.22.6.

My licence is valid until feb 2024. 

I visited Jira Software website (https://www.atlassian.com/fr/migration/assess/journey-to-cloud) that indicates it is not possible anymore to upgrade tier. 

I suspect tier is the number of users associated to my licence. 

Do you think it is still possible to upgrade the Jira software version (8.5.1 -> 8.22.6) without changing the tier program?

Thank you

Hi @Gregory BONNARDEL ,

Welcome to the community !!

You can download the required version and upgrade the existing server with valid license. File to download is present in https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download-archives

Tier means user license. Atlassian has stopped user license upgrade as of now and not selling any new licenses to server versions.

Hi @Gregory BONNARDEL ,

Its long process and too many downtimes required. 
Why would you do so many upgrades when you can directly upgrade from 8.5.1 to 8.22.6. 
Always see the upgrade matrix https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/upgrade-checklist-966063320.html
