GL_Icon_Chevron Licensing expertise

Our consultants are deeply experienced with complex license models — including renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and even harmonization of support periods.

License Purchasing Options

With the first purchase of a server license, you receive the right to use the software without restrictions. In addition, you will receive support and updates from Atlassian for 12 months. After this support period, you can continue to use the software without any restrictions. However, you are then no longer entitled to receive support and updates. Optionally, you can also secure support and updates for 24 months with your initial purchase. After that, you can optionally extend the support period by another 12-24 months at half the purchase price. As Atlassian is a major developer of the software, we always advise our customers to extend the support period. There is no optional support extension for the Data Center deployment option. Data Centers have a one-year term and must be renewed afterwards.

Your existing server license is valid without restrictions. However, if you wish to continue to use updates and security patches or use manufacturer support after the (minimum) one-year support contract has expired, we recommend that you extend your support. These so-called renewals cost only 50 percent of the new purchase price of a license.

An upgrade license allows you to jump to the next user level. You pay considerably less than if you would purchase the product in the user level you now need. Upgrade licenses include a new 12 months of updates and support from the date of purchase. For existing license agreements, the terms are renewed from the date of purchase of the upgrade. In some cases (i.e., support period > 12 months), it is possible to add a portion of the costs already paid for the current license. In this case, we would be pleased to take over the communication with Atlassian and check your individual situation.

Downgrades are the opposite of upgrades. Has your team shrunk and you can get by with a 50 user license instead of a 100 user license? No problem. Downgrades are possible on request from Atlassian and under certain conditions. We will be happy to check your individual situation and communicate with Atlassian for you.

Have you purchased different Atlassian products and/or add-ons at different times? Do you not want to ask for budget approval every two months to extend the support periods of individual products? No problem, we will be happy to review and provide a quote to harmonize the support periods of all your Atlassian products and Marketplace add-ons.

Deployment Options

The Data Center option is recommended for larger organizations with 250 or more users, for whom the availability and speed of Atlassian products is critical. The main difference to the Single Server option is the high availability and speed. Your systems will run distributed on several servers simultaneously. This allows software updates or even maintenance work on individual machines during operation. Otherwise, you can use all the advantages of the Single Server option extended by some additional features like project archiving (i.e., Jira) or read-only mode (i.e., Confluence).

With Atlassian’s Cloud solution, you do not need to set up and maintain your own infrastructure. The systems, including all data, are managed on Atlassian’s servers. The Cloud solution is immediately ready for use and thus enables a quick introduction.

Non-profit organizations receive free community licenses from Atlassian and can apply for them here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-request

To obtain an academic license, you must be part of one of the following types of organizations:

  • State-certified educational institutions
    • Public or private kindergartens
    • Public or private primary schools
    • Public or private secondary schools
    • Vocational schools
    • Distance learning institutes
    • Public or private universities

  • Teaching hospitals affiliated with an accredited university
  • Training organizations accredited by a public body

Yes, a so-called “developer license” can be created by the technical contact person in the license management section of the MyAtlassian.com account. The developer license can be used for non-productive purposes on your development and test environment, or on a cold standby server. The license expiration date is synchronized with the existing production license. The license key can be generated as follows:

  • Log-in at https://my.atlassian.com
  • Find the desired production license in the “Your Licenses” area
  • Click on the license to open the corresponding menu
  • Click the button “View Developer License” in the “Actions” area
  • Confirm the terms of the developer license by clicking on “View”
  • Copy the license key into the license management of your development or test system

You can generate several developer licenses from one productive license if you use different servers for testing, development, or quality assurance.

FAQs — Offers, Orders, Provisions, and Invoices

Simply send us an email with the desired products and the required number of users to atlassian-consulting@globallogic.com. We would also be pleased to receive your inquiry by telephone under the number 0800 09 800 00.

If you like our offer, you are welcome to send the signed offer or your order by email to atlassian-consulting@globallogic.com

After receiving your order, GlobalLogic will purchase your licenses from Atlassian. For this purpose, we will deposit the Technical Contact you requested (e.g., name, email, telephone) as licensee with Atlassian. After activation (i.e., confirmation mail from Atlassian), the licensee will have access to the existing licenses and license keys at any time. They can also generate developer licenses for your products using the existing account.

The software is provided electronically via download from Atlassian and can be installed on the desired target system regardless of the license purchase.

You will receive an invoice from GlobalLogic after the purchase, according to the tax regulations of our Germany-based Atlassian consultation office. A purchase by credit card with the associated foreign currency costs and fees for a foreign bank transfer is therefore not necessary. As a rule, we offer you 14 days as a payment term. Deviating from these terms of payment can be agreed upon individually.

With the purchase of your licenses, we will make an advance payment. However, a possible rescission can only take place within 30 days after purchase. Therefore it is necessary to receive the compensation within two weeks. Different payment terms can be agreed upon individually.

FAQs — Returns and Exchanges

Commercial and academic licenses can be returned or exchanged for up to 30 days after the date of order. After this period, no returns or exchanges are possible. Please directly reach out to the contact persons mentioned in your offer. Please also note that starter licenses (i.e., 10 users / 3 agents) are excluded from the return policy, as Atlassian donates these revenues to charitable organizations. A return of Atlassian Cloud licenses is only possible within the first paid month after the evaluation. If you purchased Cloud licenses as an annual subscription, you can also cancel or exchange these licenses within 30 days of purchase.
