Can I have two instances of JIRA Software in one organization

[Ravi Radhakrishnan]

I am looking to have two JIRA Software instances - one premium and one standard within the same organization so that the users can be managed with Access.   How can I create a second JIRA instance within an organization?

Hi @Ravi Radhakrishnan,

I believe having multiple sites in the way you have described is only available under the enterprise subscription.

You can see the details on the pricing page:

I hope that helps answer your question.

Thanks. Where does it state that I can do this only with premium edition?  I do have two Jira instances today on two different sites and two diff Organizations. When I read through the process of merging them by transferring to one Organization, it states that I can do that and I will have multiple instances of the product but under different sites.  

If that is allowed, I am wondering, how can I create a second instance.  I have not seen an option at creation time to associate with an Organization.  It will be useful to know how that can be done.

Hi @Ravi Radhakrishnan,

The site limit line:

I'm pretty sure that indicates the number of sites that are allowed to exist within a single organization.

HI @Jimmy Seddon 

You are right.  I am not sure what will happen if I go through with the transfer, then as it will be two sites.  One Premium and one standard as of now.  I will test by creating a new site and transferring it over.

Thanks,
Ravi

@Jimmy Seddon ,

I successfully transferred a second Jira instance and so I am able to operate two different products levels standard and premium under a single organization across multiple sites.

Thanks,

I'm glad you were able to figure it out!
