Read-only from 2029
After 28 March 2029, Data Center subscriptions expire and the products become read-only. Extensions beyond that are available by exception only.
Guide: Atlassian Data Center end of life
Data Center is ending. What now?
Atlassian is retiring its Data Center products: since 30 March 2026 there are no new Data Center subscriptions for new customers, from 30 March 2028 no expansions either, and on 28 March 2029 Jira, Jira Service Management and Confluence Data Center become read-only.
This page gives you the dates, your options and a checklist – so you don’t have to decide under time pressure.

What changes
The core products are affected.
According to Atlassian, the end of life covers Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence and Crowd Data Center and the related Marketplace apps. Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center are exempt.
Apps expire too
Data Center apps from the Marketplace end as well. Features you rely on through apps have to be re-assessed for every target platform.
Time to decide
A switch with data migration, permissions and training needs lead time. The earlier you plan, the more options you keep.
Your options
Three ways forward after Data Center.
The right path depends on where your data may live, which apps you need and how much operation you want to own.
Checklist for the switch
- Take stock: projects, spaces, users, groups and data volumes
- List the Marketplace apps you use and what they do
- Clarify requirements: hosting, data protection, SSO/SCIM, integrations
- Test the target system in a proof of concept with real data
- Plan the migration in waves: pilot project, then area by area
- Check workflows, permissions and automations after migrating
Switching with XISUITE
From Data Center to XISUITE – inside the application.
The migration tool moves Jira projects and Confluence spaces straight into XISUITE. And if you want to keep self-hosting, run XISUITE on-premise.

Assessment call
Start with an analysis of your system environment.
Before anything is migrated, we look at your current setup together with you – whether Jira, Confluence or another tool, in the cloud or on your own servers.

The result
A clear recommendation on the right path to XISUITE – the operating model, migration approach and next steps.
Deployment
Run it where control belongs.
XISUITE adapts to the organization’s operating model rather than forcing infrastructure into a single answer.
Multi-tenant SaaS
Use XISUITE as a managed cloud workspace for multiple organizations and teams.
Single-tenant
Run a dedicated tenant context when organizational boundaries call for a separated environment.
On-premise
Operate XISUITE on your own infrastructure when control of the deployment is the priority.
