Namely, Jira will be deprecating its server-based licenses, with all support for these services stopping on February 2, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, they\u2019ve already stopped all server license sales, now offering only cloud-based services.<\/p>\n<p><em>Okay, but what does that mean for the consumer?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Great question! While Jira contends that this will improve overall performance, support, and service, this major change will inevitably come with some major growing pains for both Jira and, quite likely, customers.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, anyone using a server-based license will have to migrate all their work to the Jira cloud.
