how to correlation Jira OnDemand version to Jira server version

[Ken Wood]

When migrating from OnDemand to server, all the documentation keeps stressing the importance of  having both JIRA instances running the same version. But OnDemand and Server use different version names. I can't seem to find a table or chart or page or something that provides correlation between OnDemand and corresponding Server version.

Does such a thing exist? If so, where can I find it?

Actually, it doesn't matter.  Cloud (not OnDemand, it was renamed years ago) is almost always ahead of Server versions.

So there's a really simple rule - use the absolute latest server version available.

If you do decide to do something like "export now, then import that file in 3 months time", yes, you might not need the latest version of Server, but you can correlate the server release date with your export date/time.

Thanks. FYI I see the terms "cloud" and "OnDemand" so often I don't think about it, just use whatever pops into my head

I know, but I get told off for not saying it
