How many licenses do I need in my federation?
Short answer: Principally one is enough!
Detailed answer: You only need a Federation for Jira license on that instance, where you want to access the functionality of the Federation for Jira app. From that Jira instance, Federation for Jira will reach out to all other Jira instances in your federation, connected by Application Links.
On which Jira instances do I have to install the Federation for Jira app?
Only on those instances, where you want to access the functionality of the Federation for Jira app such as the /wiki/spaces/FED/pages/12386528.
On which Jira instances do I have to install my license/s for the Federation for Jira app?
Everywhere where you install the Federation for Jira app you need a valid license. (See also previous question.) We suggest you get a valid license and install it just after the Installation. You might choose an evaluation license for the first 30 days.
I'm still confused, can you give me an example?
You have 3 Jira instances:
Jira 1, Jira 2 and Jira 3.
You have an application link between Jira 1 and Jira 2. You also have an application link between Jira 1 and Jira 3.
You decide to install the Federation for Jira app only on Jira 1. You need a license for the Federation for Jira app only on Jira 1. Now you can use the functionality of Federation for Jira, such as /wiki/spaces/FED/pages/12386528 on a dashboard of Jira 1. This will provide you search results across your whole federation. The results displayed on the dashboard of Jira 1, will include issues from all your 3 Jira instances: Jira 1, Jira 2 and Jira 3.
However since you have not installed the Federation for Jira app on Jira 2 and Jira 3, you cannot use the /wiki/spaces/FED/pages/12386528 on a dashboard of those instances.
I would like to verify first by myself, what exactly this all means.
No problem. We suggest you get a free evaluation license first, which is valid for 30 days.
