Atlassian automatically sends a no-obligation quote 90 days before the maintenance is to expire on a license. You can request a quote at any time; see this FAQ for more details.You also have the option to set up auto-renewal through my.atlassian.com.
*Software maintenance renewals commence from the expiration of your active maintenance period, regardless of when the maintenance renewal is purchased. We recommend renewing at least 30 days before expiration to ensure you can upgrade to new releases and get technical assistance at any time.
3. What is software maintenance?
Software maintenance, included in your first year of use*, gives you the following benefits:
- Security patches
- Critical bug fixes
- New features & enhancements
- Access to Atlassian's world-class Support team for technical troubleshooting
- Developer license* keys (lets you test the upgrades before committing!)
- Potential to enroll in Beta Programs
In order for your software maintenance to remain active year-round, you must purchase it annually. Learn more about our renewing terms for software maintenance above. We also suggest making sure your business processes allow for frequent upgrades so your team can continue reaping the benefits enjoyed by other world-class teams.
*Please note that 10-User Starter server licenses are not eligible for non-production Developer licenses or Technical Support.
4. How do I request a quote?
Requesting an obligation-free quote is easy! You will just need to submit your request through our Atlassian Store. In the final step check "Get a Quote" and click submit. Only quotes submitted though our online form are considered valid, screen prints of the shopping cart is not the same as a quote.
5. How are add-ons licensed?
Add-on licenses must match the Jira Core user count and type. For instance, a 25 user commercial Jira Core Server license will require a 25 user commercial Capture for Jira license.
6. What do I do if Jira Core has exceeded the Licensed User Count?
An active user in Jira Core is by definition any user account in the system with the "Jira Users" global permission, i.e. anyone who can log in. Unlimited 'anonymous users' are permitted on all licenses.
If you have exceeded your license count, you will need to remove users or groups from the "Jira Users" global permission. See Unable to Create Issues due to Exceeded License.
7. How is Jira Core Server licensed?
A Jira Core Server commercial/academic/starter license entitles you to:
- Deploy a single instance of Jira Core in a production environment on 1 server
- Unlimited projects and issues
- Perpetual Jira Core use
- Software maintenance for 12 months - including all updates and online support
- Application source code (under a developer source license which allows for broad customization)
Licensing fees are quoted per number of 'active users.' An active user in Jira Core is by definition any user account in the system with the "Jira Core Users" global permission or the "Jira Administrators" permission, i.e. anyone who can log in. Unlimited 'anonymous users' are permitted on all licenses.
An academic license is available for qualified educational and academic institutions (learn more). Please see our Software License Agreement for more details.
8. What is the cost to upgrade my Jira Core Server license to a higher user tier?

Note: If you are using Capture for Jira or any other add-on, the add-on licenses must match the user count and type of the parent product. For instance, a 500 User Commercial Jira Core Server license will require a 500 User Commercial Capture for Jira Server license.
Starter licenses can be upgraded to a higher tier for the price of a new license at the desired tier.
If you are currently using another legacy license; not shown in the table above; please Contact Us for assistance.
