JSM-Datacenter : Can I use the same license of my production instance to my UAT instance

JSM-Datacenter :

I have 2 instances running on 2 servers 1 production and 1 UAT.

Can I use the same license as my production instance for my UAT instance?

Thanks in advance

Hello @Saqib Dar ,

I think Jira won't allow you to use same license. The best practice is You can generate developer license from your production license.

Only a technical contact for your commercial/academic license is able to create a developer license.

Atlassian supplies "developer" licenses that can be used by existing commercial license holders who wish to deploy non-production installations of our software to use in QA/staging environments. Developer licenses are free-of-charge to commercial license holders, and, like our commercial offerings, they include 12 months of updates starting from the purchase date of the commercial license.

If you hold a commercial license, you can obtain a free developer license by following these steps:

1. Log in to your Atlassian account.
2. Under the "Licenses" heading, all of your licenses will be displayed. Click the plus sign next to a JIRA license to view its details.
3. Click the 'View Developer License' link in the bottom right corner of the license detail panel, below your commercial license key.

Your new developer license will be generated and displayed in a popup window. 

For more information Atlassian has created very details document:

Hope this help!!
