Will I need a development license to do a test run of migrating JIRA?

Daniel Pipe August 30, 2022

I am looking to migrate JIRA 6.3.4 to a new VM. But first I want to do a test run of this with a new JIRA instance, exporting a database backup of the current JIRA. 

Will I require the use of a development license to carry this out when it comes to installing a new JIRA instance on a test environment?

Hi @Daniel Pipe ,

 

if you have an active maintenance, then you can use the developer license that is on your Atlassian account : my.atlassian.com

This license is intended for non-production use : testing, development, pre-production ...

 

Let me know if this helps.

What are my options if I do not have an active maintenance license?

Update: I now have access to developer license key.

Hi @Daniel Pipe 

You can use the same license on an intranet network.

Sorry, I'm a little confused as I do not see where it says that in the link. 

It seems to say instead that I should use a Dev. license for this. 

"The suggested license to apply to a non-production environment is a  Developer License , not an Evaluation license. You should only use an Evaluation license if you don't have a Developer license tied to your main license."

Alright, thanks for the help. I now need to know if there is any way I can get a developer license without having an active maintenance license.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, JIRA, which is a popular project management tool developed by Atlassian, does not require a development license for performing a test run of migrating JIRA
