Server end of support FAQs

Where can I learn about my migration options? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

In most cases, we recommend moving to our Cloud products as soon as possible. By partnering with Atlassian on their move to Cloud, customers have seen lower costs, increased reliability, uptime, and security, and can focus on innovation over maintenance.

For customers with business requirements that prevent you from operating in Cloud, we also continue to offer Data Center.
Start by comparing your options and assessing which is best for your organization. Upon determining which is the best fit, use our Cloud migration guide or Data Center upgrade guide to get started.

What does Server end of support mean? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

After 12 a.m. PST on February 15, 2024, Atlassian and Marketplace Partners will no longer provide technical support for any issues, security updates, or bug fixes for critical vulnerabilities. Regular security updates help protect your business from threats and vulnerabilities, so we recommend moving to our Cloud or Data Center products before the end of support date.

Which products does Server end of support apply to? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

The end of support applies to:

  • Jira Software Server
  • Jira Core Server
  • Jira Service Management Server
  • Confluence Server
  • Bitbucket Server
  • Crowd Server
  • Bamboo Server
  • Atlassian-built Server apps

Exceptions:

  • Fisheye and Crucible: You will still be able to purchase new licenses for Fisheye and Crucible, which remain in basic maintenance mode.
  • Marketplace apps: Existing customers can continue to purchase new Server Marketplace apps until February 15, 2023. However, after February 15, 2024, Server Marketplace apps will reach end of support.
  • Atlassian-built apps included with a Data Center subscription: As part of the end of Server sale and support, we’re including several Atlassian-built apps with a Data Center subscription:

If you don't have an existing Server license for the app, then as of February 2, 2021 you can no longer purchase or request a quote for any of these apps. These apps (or the equivalent native functionality) will only be available by moving to Cloud or Data Center. If you have an existing Server app license, you can continue to renew support and maintenance for these apps until the end of support date.

I want to migrate from server to cloud but don’t have enough time until server end of support, what are my options? Copy link to heading Copied! Show
  

In 2020, driven by our mission to create a world-class cloud experience, we made the strategic decision to discontinue support for server products. Since then, we have shared guidance through the Atlassian Migration Program and slowly wound down server by introducing changes to our licensing, upgrades, and apps until support ends on February 15, 2024. You can stay supported by migrating to our Cloud or Data Center products.

We realize customers with larger, more complex instances will still be in the process of migrating. But rest assured, starting September 12, 2023, if you purchase an annual cloud subscription before February 15, 2024, Atlassian & participating Marketplace partners will offer up to one year of server support. This ensures that you won’t introduce security risks by remaining on server during your migration journey.

To be eligible, the annual cloud subscription must be for a minimum of 1,001 users (Jira Software, Jira Work Management, or Confluence) or a minimum of 251 agents (Jira Service Management). We will also accept expired server maintenance or Data Center subscriptions if they are no more than 30 days past their expiration date.

To determine the best migration path for your business, we recommend contacting our team of experts.

Do I need to upgrade my server version? Copy link to heading Copied! Show
  

If you are eligible for dual licensing, be sure to upgrade to the most recent LTS versions for Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and/or Confluence, as they’ll continue to receive bug fix releases as you complete your migration to cloud.

If you are planning to migrate to cloud and on a server version compatible with our migration tooling, then you can proceed with a migration directly.

Refer to the table below to see if you’re on a minimum supported server version.

Have there been any updates since the end of support announcement? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

Since announcing the Server end of support in October 2020, we’ve been hard at work listening to your feedback, finding opportunities to better support you, and making improvements to our Cloud offerings and migration capabilities. To help you keep up with any new developments, we’ll continue sharing regular updates in the Atlassian Community:

Are there any changes to Data Center? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

Overview of changes

We know Data Center is a pivotal step in the long-term path to Cloud for our customers who can’t move yet due to company mandate or require a multi-year transition. We will continue to meet those needs; there are no plans for a Data Center end of support. To meet your demand for better collaboration and increased insights, we’re including some of our most powerful Atlassian apps and new features. Starting February 2, 2021, Data Center subscriptions include access to:

  • Jira Software Data Center and Jira Service Management Data Center: Automation for Jira (A4J). This is now also a free marketplace app.
  • Jira Software Data Center: Advanced Roadmaps (formerly Portfolio for Jira)
  • Confluence Data Center: Team Calendars for Confluence and Analytics for Confluence
  • Jira Service Management Data Center: Insight - Asset Management and Insight Discovery
  • Priority Support: Priority Support will be included with a Data Center subscription to Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Crowd. It will also be included with a Bitbucket Data Center subscription for customers with 251 or more users (the 500 user tier and above).
  • Automation for Jira Software and Jira Service Management: This will be included in Jira Software Data Center version 9.0 and Jira Service Management 5.0.  You can also install a compatible version of the app at no cost.

We’ve also recently introduced the newest addition to our Data Center product line, Bamboo Data Center. Priority Support will be included with a Bamboo Data Center subscription for customers with 100 or more agents.

Accessing the new native functionality

If you already use these apps, you’ll no longer have to renew your subscription after February 2, 2021. However, please note you will need to use the methods outlined below to unlock the functionality before your existing app license expires.
To unlock this functionality, you’ll need to either upgrade to a Data Center product version with the app included, or install a compatible version of the app at no cost. The apps will not require a license, and functionality will unlock when the app starts on a compatible Data Center subscription.

Which methods are available varies by app:

  • Advanced Roadmaps (formerly Portfolio for Jira):
    • This will be included in Jira Software Data Center version 8.15.
    • You can also install a compatible version of the app at no cost.
  • Team Calendars for Confluence:
    • This will be included in Confluence Data Center version 7.11.
    • You can also install a compatible version of the app at no cost.
  • Analytics for Confluence:
    • You will need to upgrade to Confluence Data Center version 7.11.
    • This will not be available to install as an app.
  • Insight - Asset Management*:
    • This will be included in Jira Service Management Data Center version 4.15.
    • You can also install a compatible version of the app at no cost.
  • Insight Discovery*:
    • You can install a compatible version of the app at no cost.

*You may also be able to use the Insight apps with Jira Software Data Center.

Migrate to cloud (recommended)

By partnering with Atlassian on their move to cloud, customers have seen lower costs, reduced risk of downtime and security issues, and can focus on innovation over maintenance. To quickly compare costs and see your recommended path to cloud based on your server products, use our personalized recommendation tool.

Migrate to Data Center

For server customers who can’t move to cloud yet due to company mandate or need a multi-year transition, we recommend migrating to Data Center. To understand the benefits of Data Center and how to plan for a migration, start by visiting our migration center.

Continue on server or Data Center

With three years of server support and continued investment in Data Center, you have time to make your decision and develop a migration plan based on your requirements and our roadmap.

How long will you continue to offer Data Center? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

Atlassian has no plans at this time to end of life Data Center products. We understand that some customers have have business requirements that might prevent you from operating in cloud.

For these customers, we’ll continue to offer Data Center and invest in new capabilities shared through our Data Center roadmap. We will continue to build out the roadmap beyond the timelines currently published when we have new updates to share.

We recommend that customers who have requirements that currently prevent them from moving to the cloud watch our cloud roadmap to find out whether we’re working on the feature they need. If the feature a you need won’t be delivered before the end of support for Atlassian server products, we recommend moving to or staying on Data Center.

What if I can't move to cloud yet? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

For all customers

With three years before the end of support, you have plenty of time to evaluate our cloud offerings, coordinate internally, and prepare – there’s no need to act immediately.

If you can’t yet move because you’re waiting for a particular feature or compliance certification, we’re committed to delivering new features and improvements faster in cloud, and you may find we’re delivering on your requirements soon.

Take a look at our cloud roadmap and the Trust Center for additional information on compliance and security for Atlassian cloud products, and how our teams are expanding coverage to help you meet compliance needs.

For customers that need data residency

Available today: Currently, data residency is available today as part of our cloud Enterprise plan, which is best for our largest customers who also need additional administrative, security, and scale features.

Coming soon: We know having control over where your data is stored is a requirement for teams of all sizes. We’re excited to announce data residency will be included in our Standard and Premium cloud plans for Jira and Confluence by second half of 2021. Sign up for updates and learn more here.

You can also keep an eye on our cloud roadmap to see the latest updates, including data residency for additional locations, data residency for apps, and more.

For government customers

Atlassian is committed to helping government teams get things done faster, easier, and with greater security. We are also currently putting our cloud products through the FedRAMP compliance process.
