When do I need to have a Data Center license for your apps?
Our license checks are designed to NOT cut off Server customers who transition from Server to Data Center.
If a Server license was purchased before or during the grace period then that license will work on Data Center until the end of the grace period.
The grace period is 90 days after Data Center support is announced for an app.
A Server license used on a Data Center instance will need to upgrade to a Data Center license after the grace period ends. In that case, the remaining time on the Server license will be credited towards the Data Center license.
Customers with Server licenses on a Data Center instance who go past the grace period will still be able to view their data but are encouraged to update their license.

Updating should be seamless once the Data Center version is released. All you will need to do is update to that version,
Any unused previously charged cost of the server App will be applied by Atlassian to the difference. As Atlassian handles the billing any discrepancies should be brought to their attention but if you are having a challenge we will do our best to help.
