Licenses per Use Case

On this page:

This article lists the licenses needed for each Configuration Manager use case.

For the production instances in your use cases, you need commercial licenses, and for the QA/staging instances, you can use free developer licenses issued by Appfire. 

Read more about the different licensing options in the Atlassian ecosystem.

Test - Staging - Production

Test - Staging - Production

One commercial license for the Target production Jira instance and two free developer licenses for the Test and Staging Jira instances.

Jira Clones

Jira Clones

One commercial license for the Target production Jira instance and one free developer license for the Jira clone instance.

Move Projects (with Issue Data)

Move Projects (with Issue Data)

One commercial or trial license for the Source production Jira instance and a commercial license for the Target production Jira instance.

Project Template

Project Template

One commercial license for the Source production Jira system.

Project Backup and CMDB

Project Backup and CMDB

One commercial license for the Source production Jira system.

Project Archiving

Project Archiving

A commercial license is required for the Source production instance. The Target archive instance, however, needs to have the same license as its Jira system (i.e., if the instance has a commercial Jira license, then you’ll also need a commercial CMJ license).

Merge Jira Servers

Merge Jira Servers

Only the Target production Jira instance is required to have a commercial license. The other Source production Jira instance can use either a commercial or a trial license.

Two free developer licenses will be needed for the Development and Staging Jira instances.

Delegated Project Administration

Delegated Project Administration

A commercial license is needed only for the Target production Jira instance. You can license the rest of the instances with free developer licenses (both Jira and Configuration Manager).

Incremental Аrchiving

Incremental Аrchiving

This use case license-wise is the same as the project archiving one, and it explains how to archive any given project incrementally.

So, again, you’ll need a commercial license for the Source production instance, and the Target archive instance needs to have the same license as its Jira system (i.e., if the instance has a commercial Jira license, then you’ll also need a commercial CMJ license).
