Jira server OS to Windows 10 from Windows 7

[Manoj Somavanshi]

Hi,

We have Jira-software custom license running on On-premise server and the license is expired already. Now we wanted to upgrade/migrate the Jira server OS to Windows 10 from Windows 7.

If we go ahead with this upgradation/migration, will my already expired license will work or do I need to purchase the new license?

@Manoj Somavanshi  , you will not be able to upgrade to a version of JIRA which was released after the date your license expired.

The migration and the upgrade to a version which was released before your license expiry would work

I am not going to upgrade Jira version , but only upgrading Jira Server Windows OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10 .  Will that cause any issues if my Jira license is already expired?

It shouldn't. You should be able to use the license

Also, since when are Windows 7 or 10 Server OS'es?

Maybe migrate to a Windows Server version, you'll have a lot less overhead than with a Desktop OS
