Is it Possible to perform Jira Server Upgradation after JIRA license expiration?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Yes and no.

You can upgrade a Jira Server with an expired licence.  But only to versions that were released before the end of the licence.

If, for example, you are on Jira 9.0 and your licence expired June 30th, you would be able to upgrade to Jira 9.9.1 (released June 29th), but not Jira 9.10.0 (11th July)

Hi @malli_tech1994 

thanks for your question. If your current Jira version is lower than the latest release before your license expires, you will be able to upgrade to this version. 

For example (no valid dates):

• you are on 8.5.
• your license expired 06/30/23
• 8.9 was released on 05/25/23 
• You are allowed to upgrade to 8.9, because your license was valid at the point of the release

Hi @malli_tech1994 ,

Welcome to atlassian community!

As per the atlassian, Please upgrade the license before upgrading the Jira server.

you can upgrade with the using the free license but that is not suggested and It will impact after upgrade.

If you upgrade the license, then you will get support from the atlassian team during the upgrade If you faced any issue.

So please avoid to upgrade the Jira in the license expiration.

Regards,

Sanjen Bariki

Hello @malli_tech1994 

No, you will have to purchase a new license in order to perform an upgrade.

@malli_tech1994 In order to upgrade Jira, you will need to have an active license.
