Step 2

Build a cloud proof of concept

The extended timeframe of a Cloud Migration Trial lets you build a demo of your current data. With a proof of concept, you can invite stakeholders to your trial site for evaluation and approval.

Step 3

Avoid double-paying with dual licensing

By purchasing dual licensing, we’ll extend your self-managed subscription for up to one year free. That way, you'll have time to migrate at your own pace without getting stuck double-paying for both self-managed and cloud.

Migrate using your trial

How it works

Starting a migration trial is quick and easy - just click the “Get started” button on this page. Each self-managed license you own is eligible for a separate Cloud Migration Trial. You can create a new cloud site as you sign up, or apply your trial to an existing cloud site. If you create a new cloud site, we recommend choosing a URL you'll want to keep so you can eventually use your trial for your production migration. If applying your migration trial to an existing cloud site, keep in mind that your trial cannot be applied to active paid Cloud licenses, and can only be applied to existing free or trial licenses.

The Cloud Migration Trial is fully functional, so you can use it just as you’d use any cloud site to test features and your actual migration. Once your trial period ends, you can add your billing details to continue using the trial site as your production site.

Eligible Server and Data Center customers with more than 60 days of active maintenance left can receive a free extended Cloud Migration Trial for the remainder of their Server or Data Center license. Customers with expired licenses or active maintenance with 60 days or fewer are eligible for a free 60-day Cloud Migration Trial.

Who can claim a migration trial?

We offer Cloud Migration Trials to Server or Data Center customers with a Commercial or Academic license and 11+ users. Trials are currently available for Jira Software, Bitbucket, Jira Service Management, Jira Core, and Confluence. Cloud Migration Trials are not yet available for Atlassian Guard or Marketplace apps.

You can only claim your trial if you are the technical or billing contact on your self-managed license.

If you have fewer than 60 days remaining on your Server maintenance or Data Center subscription, or you have expired maintenance you can still get a free 60-day Cloud trial.
