License management of Outlook Integration for JIRAJira is done only by the JIRA add-on.handled by the Jira app. Please also mind the versioning of the app, which differs for Jira Server and Cloud.
- Jira Server & Jira Data Center
For JIRA server, you - have to purchase a license that matches the license of your
JIRA - Jira system in terms of users.
- For every new
JIRA - release of our Outlook add-in there will be a new version of the
Outlook add-in with the corresponding JIRA add-on available. The JIRA add-on - related Jira App.
- The Jira app has to have the same or a newer version than the Outlook add-in.
on - in is newer, the user gets a
error - notification message that
he has the JIRA add-on.For JIRA cloud, you - the related Jira app.
- If the Outlook add-In is older, the add-in will just work as before due to backward compatibility.
- In case of a license error the user will be notified. The error will also be visible in the app management in the Jira administration.
- Example
- Jira App Version: 2.1.1 → Outlook Add-in version: Any version up to version 2.1.1 will work.
- Jira App Version: 2.2.0 → Outlook Add-in version: Any version up to version 2.2.0 will work.
- Jira Cloud
- You always have the newest version of
the JIRA add-on available. - the Jira app installed. Atlassian cares about the updates.
- As Atlassian handles the versioning of the App automatically, the version of the Jira Cloud App can be ignored and does not tell something about the "up-to-dateness". Changes of the App in the backend does not result into a new version in most cases.
- The version of the Outlook add-in is independent from the
JIRA add-on version.
...
- Jira app version. Any version of the Outlook add-in will work with Jira Cloud from the license perspective.
- Example:
- Jira App version: 2.0.2-AC → Any Outlook Add-in version will work (Atlassian will update to e.g. 2.0.3-AC automatically, if available).
- Jira App version: 2.0.3-AC → Any Outlook Add-in version will work.
