Use of JEMH is subject to the terms of the its End User License Agreement (EULA). Terms are non-negotiable.

End of JEMH for Server on 15 FEB 2024

Atlassian has set out its plans to phase-out its Server branded offering in order to focus on its Cloud and Data Center versions.

JEMH Server licensing ends as of 15 FEB 2024. Legacy customers with 500+ seats are able to renew, until 15 FEB 2025 but no later. We expect that most smaller sized customers will move to Cloud, with larger ones choosing either Data Center or Cloud as per their requirements.

Your JEMH Server licenses are perpetually valid (will always work), for all versions released within your maintenance window, they do not stop working on 15 FEB 2024.

JEMH Server support after 15 FEB 2024

JEMH 4.1.x (for Jira 9.0.0-9.12.x) has been determined as the EOL Server release branch and is now in maintenance only. Jira 9.13.x is DC only so there will not be a Jira 9.13.x compatible Server release. 4.1.x will continue to be maintained for security and related updates but will not receive new features.

I upgraded JEMH Server to a version my license doesn’t support, now what?

You are only licensed for versions your license supports. If you have upgraded past your license expiry date, JEMH will not work. We do continue to make bugfix and security updates for Server on 4.1.x for 500+ seat instance with related valid licenses but those versions will be unavailable/unusable if your Server license has lapsed. Future upgrades require a transition to Jira DC instance and related app license, or a move to Cloud with our JEMHC variant of course!

If your JEMH Server app is doing what you need we don’t recommend upgrading, as you will not be supportable should you run into problems. We recommend you uninstall any version you’ve recently installed and download a JAR version released in your license window from Enterprise Mail Handler for Jira (JEMH) - Version history | Atlassian Marketplace | Atlassian Marketplace, installation is then possible using Manage Apps > Upload App.

JEMHC for Cloud edition licensing

All quoting is done through Marketplace, the ‘app entries’ do not seem to have this link:

JEMH for Data Center edition licensing

Licensing for Data Center editions is done via Atlassian and the Atlassian Marketplace. Atlassian Data Center licensing is per-year with no indefinite right to use. Licenses must be repurchased every year and upon expiry will cease to function. The minimum seat count for Software is currently 500 users, if you look at Jira Service Management, its tiers start at 50. JEMH DC pricing is shown on the JEMH Marketplace entry.

First-time install or migrating from the server version?

Data Center Quotes

Please see the Marketplace entry for JEMH Pricing on DC.  We don't quote DC because Marketplace does that: https://www.atlassian.com/purchase/addon/com.javahollic.jira.jemh-ui.data-center.

Evaluation licenses

New, Maintenance and Upgrade licenses

All Data Center customers who want to use JEMH versions released after 31st August 2018 must use Atlassian Marketplace my.atlassian.com where all JEMH Data Center quoting and billing occurs.

Quotes/existing orders

All newly issued quotes contain a notice that indicates they are for Jira Server only. Such licenses will not be valid for Data Center installations of JEMH in releases made after 31st August 2018. As all sales are final, customers should be sure what type of license they need prior to ordering. Outstanding invoices issued prior to 31st August 2018 will be honoured and licenses will continue to work in Data Center configuration as before. Payments against expired quotes will be returned, minus costs.

• Please use the Marketplace for all Data Center quoting

Server licenses issued before 31 AUG 2018

Customers who have a valid non-expired JEMH Server license issued prior to 31 AUG 2018 are still able to use it in Jira Data Center installations with all JEMH versions released until the license expires, perpetually.

Using JEMH on Jira Data Center versions below 7.4

We haven't pushed DC Marketplace licensing support below Jira 7.4.  If you are running Jira Data Center 7.3 or earlier you may continue to to request Server licenses, but such licenses are conditionally sold that they only work on JEMH versions released prior to 31 AUG 2018.

If you upgrade to a later Jira version with any version of JEMH made after 31 AUG 2018 and are clustered, the license will not be functional. There is no transfer or credit system for this scenario, and a full Marketplace license would be needed.

Server to Data Center

New Data Center instances of JEMH require a new JEMH DC license purchased through Marketplace. There is no credit for unused server maintenance, each license type runs its own course.

Transition

JEMH Server licenses issued prior to 31st August 2018 will continue to be valid perpetually in new DC builds, until they expire.  Newly purchased Server licenses are not valid for Data Center editions of JEMH. There is no transfer from a Server license to DC, or from DC to Server.

Data Center pricing

The latest pricing for the Data Center version of JEMH can be found via the Atlassian Marketplace listing.

JEMH Server edition licensing (EOL as of 15 FEB 2024)

Evaluation licenses

The historic web based eval generator running for more than a decade has finally been withdrawn as of 13 FEB 2023. The web evals were only ever single initial use so weren’t usable by customers with prior licenses installed. Contact sales@thepluginpeople.com for evals and be sure to refer the TEXT Organisation and Server ID, found from the JEMH license screen.

Pricing

The JEMH Server pricing model follows the same model of Jira Server licensing based on users. You do need to buy at least the same JEMH license size as largest application in your Jira.  

With Jira 7.0, Jira broke up into applications, so you can now have Jira Core, Jira Software and Jira Service Management (JSM) co-installed.  In such cases, the largest 'application' drives the licensing requirement, but JEMH remains available for any/all project usage.  JSM is licensed differently than Core/Software, JEMH treats it differently too (see Jira 7 - Software /Core / Service Management below).  

All pricing is in USD. GBP quotes are available for UK customers on request.  

Invoicing

JEMH requires an exact text match on the Server ID and Organisation field of the license for largest installed application (or instance, pre Jira 7.0).  It is helpful to provide this as early in the process as possible.

Please provide business address, and EU TAX# (if applicable) in order to speed up invoice generation.

Marketplace licensing for Server

JEMH for Jira Server is not currently licensed via the Atlassian Marketplace. It is licensed directly by us (the vendor) only at this time.  With Jira 7 Applications and Service Management Agent licensing complicating licensing, this is less likely in the short term. JEMH Vendor licensing currently maps Service Management Agents to JEMH license tiers.  This specific scenario has now become a blocker in migrating to Marketplace, and needs Atlassian to implement Agent based pricing for add-ons (https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/AMKT-14584 closed/not planned).

Our Support Portal or sales@thepluginpeople.com can be used for all Quote/Invoice/PO traffic for purchase and maintenance renewals.

Open

With Jira Core or Jira Software in the mix, the largest license will be indicated and will be used for JEMH licensing purposes.  Jira Service Management pricing is not based on users but Agents, which resulted in much lower general instance sizes than would normally be expected.

Jira Service Management pricing

JEMH SERVER licenses for Jira Service Management (JSM) use a different pricing model. JSM users are mapped to the standard user licensing model to scale add-on prices more fairly. This also affects maintenance pricing. The table below shows how this mapping is done.

JEMH / Agent support table

_{Jira Service Management Server pricing accurate as of 11 October 2019}

Example multi-application licensing scenarios

1. 25 user tier in Core and 25 users in Software requires a JEMH 25 user tier license

2. 50 user tier in Core and 25 users in Software requires a JEMH 50 user tier license

3. 25 user tier in Core, 50 users in Software, and 12 Agents in JSM requires a JEMH 50 user tier license

4. <=100 user tier in Core, <=100 users in Software with 25 JSM Agent tier requires JEMH 100 user tier license

Licensing terms

A commercial JEMH Server license entitles you to the following:

• Installation of JEMH on a single production instance of Jira Server

  • You can use the same production JEMH license on Development licensed JIRA instances

• Perpetual usage of JEMH versions released within your maintenance window

• Software maintenance for 12 months from the date of purchase, including online support

• Purchased license fees are non-refundable

Source code

Access to source code is not included with a purchased license.

Re-sellers

Registered Atlassian Experts may be eligible for a 10% discount on prices shown subject to that Expert not having apps/addons that compete with or are clones of ours.  Other re-sellers are not eligible for discount but may front a sale if required.

Card charge-backs

In the unlikely event that a payment made via credit-card is reversed after production keys have been generated, the server ID and organisation may be blacklisted in future upgrades until payment is made.

Value Added Tax (VAT) registration

As declared on all Quotes and Invoices, The Plugin People Ltd (registered in the UK) is not VAT registered because UK VAT law does not require us to be VAT registered at this time:

• We don't sell the to the public at large, just businesses, so any VAT we would charge would need to be recovered anyway

• Our sales specifically in the UK do not warrant it. Your local laws may differ.

If you would like to learn more about when UK incorporated companies are required to be VAT registered, please read the UK VAT guidelines.

Russian VAT

zero trade policy in effect see : Zero trade policy with Russia / supporting countries

As of 1 JAN 2019, Russia has started charging VAT on external entities providing electronic services supplied B2B.  It is our understanding that this does not require us to register for Russian VAT when Agents/Resellers are involved, who charge the VAT.  Consequently, to comply with Russian VAT law, all customers must use a Russia based Atlassian Partner/ Reseller, direct sales are no longer possible.

Trade restrictions and sanctions

As a limited company incorporated in the UK, JEMH Server sales are subject to UK sanctions that prevent trade with certain countries/entities.

Purchasing a Server license

Prior to purchasing, you are able to generate a free single use 30 day evaluation license via the JEMH Add-on Licensing page: Manage add-ons > JEMH > Configure > Licensing.

The license key format is shown below. The key, including its leading <JEMHLicense> and trailing </JEMHLicense> tags, must remain intact for it to apply successfully.

Extensions should be requested by email to sales@thepluginpeople.com referring your Organisation and Server ID as TEXT!

Server purchase pricing table

In Jira Server configurations we map JSM Agent tiers to User tiers to decompress the bias to lower tiers (see Service Management pricing above). Check that the largest application is covered by the User Tier below, or the license won't work.  Atlassian Partners should ask for a quote from sales@thepluginpeople.com if in doubt - free licenses are not given where an incorrect license is assumed/quoted.
