Your success is our mission

Helping you meet the demand of innovation in the AI-era is our top priority.

From the start, Atlassian’s goal has been simple: to help teams unleash their full potential.

We introduced Data Center more than ten years ago to meet the needs of our enterprise customers, but these needs have evolved along with the exponential gains in AI-powered technology and an entirely new way of working.

Atlassian Cloud has come lightyears from where it started, and we’re thrilled that it can meet the needs of all teams, while putting you in the best position to succeed.

Frequently asked questions

What does end of life mean?
  

End of life will occur across several phases, concluding with the the end of sale and support of Data Center products and any associated Marketplace apps.

End of license sales to new customers
New customers can no longer purchase or request a quote for a Data Center product or purchase new apps associated with Data Center.

End of license sales to existing customers
Existing customers can no longer purchase or request a quote for a Data Center product, or a Data Center expansion. Similarly, existing customers will no longer be able to purchase new apps, or app expansions

End of life
Data Center licenses and any associated Data Center app licenses will expire, making Data Center products and apps read-only.

What can we expect from now until end of life?
  

Through March 28, 2029, we will continue to provide the following for Data Center customers:

  • Technical support
  • Security bug-fixes for critical vulnerabilities
  • Connectors from Atlassian Data Center products to Atlassian cloud

In order to provide these security bug-fixes for critical vulnerabilities, we may ship other updates to our Data Center products, such as platform fixes, or support for new browsers.

We understand some customers will require new cloud deployment options such as FedRAMP High, Secret Cloud or Sovereign cloud in order to migrate. We also understand that your source code is particularly sensitive, and it may take longer to move it to the cloud. We are committed to working with all customers to ensure the pathway to cloud is clear and you are able to make a smooth transition.

What products are included in end of life?
  

The end of life applies to all affected Data Center products and Marketplace apps, which include:

  • Jira Software Data Center
  • Jira Service Management Data Center
  • Confluence Data Center
  • Bamboo Data Center
  • Crowd Data Center
  • Data Center mobile apps
  • Atlassian Data Center apps
  • Atlassian Marketplace (third-party) Data Center apps

Bitbucket Data Center will be replaced by a new Bitbucket dual-license that supports licensing for both cloud and self-managed deployments.

Jira Align Data Center is not included in Data Center end of life.

I'm a Bitbucket Data Center customer, what are my options?
  

We understand that your source code is particularly sensitive, and it may take longer to move it to the cloud. In order to give you maximum flexibility for this data, we are offering a new license that provides both Bitbucket Data Center and Bitbucket Cloud access, so you can operate in whichever environment your business prefers going forward after EOL. Learn more here.

What if I can't move to cloud yet?
  

Over the past few years we’ve expanded our Cloud Platform, apps and feature set to meet the needs of more organizations. If you haven’t spoken with anyone about Atlassian Cloud recently, we recommend exploring our Cloud Platform vs Data Center comparison page or check out our cloud roadmap, as it may well be that we have added or plan to add support for your requirements. You can also visit our Trust Center to learn the latest on security, compliance, and resilience.

We understand that some organizations require specific cloud deployment alternatives to meet data sovereignty requirements, to handle classified data, or to meet other compliance needs. We are committed to partnering with you to meet your needs over the next three years. For example, we've recently announced support for cloud deployment models outside of our commercial multi-tenant cloud - this will lay a foundation to help us offer other deployment options in the future. With this in mind, we are currently exploring options for organizations with more complex requirements.

We are committed to developing solutions that meet the needs of all customers. We encourage you to engage with your Account Executive directly so that we can ensure our product roadmap meets your needs. We understand that some organizations face unique challenges or requirements that may delay their move to the cloud. For these situations, we’re committed to offering extended maintenance for certain Data Center customers by exception after March 28, 2029, ensuring you have the flexibility and support you need for a successful transformation. Please reach out to us to discuss migration options.

What happens if I don’t take action by March 28, 2029?
  

If you do not take action to engage with us and create a plan beforehand, your Data Center license will expire on March 28, 2029 at 23:59 PST and your Data Center environment will become read-only. You will not be able to use your Data Center products after your subscription is expired.

You are welcome to continue renewing your existing Data Center subscription after March 30, 2026. However, renewals cannot extend beyond March 28, 2029, and will be prorated to that date if a 12-month renewal goes past that date.

How long will I have access to my Data Center data after my subscription expires?
  

After your Data Center subscription expires, your data will continue to be available in a read-only state. However, product updates and support will no longer be available in case of technical issues.

We strongly advise against keeping your product running in a read-only mode while connected to the internet, since no new security bug fixes will be provided after the end of life date for Data Center.

To ensure continued access to your historical Data Center data long term, we recommend backing up your data to ensure continued access after your subscription expires.

What if I have more questions?
  

If you have more questions about what these changes mean for you, don't hesitate to contact us to connect with a specialist.

You can also visit our Licensing FAQs for a comprehensive list of questions and answers.
