Upgrade from Bamboo Server to Bamboo Data Center
If you're a current Bamboo Server customer looking to upgrade to Bamboo Data Center, this page will help you create a trial license and set up Data Center. There are several ways to get started with Bamboo Data Center, depending on your current setup.
If you’re installing Bamboo Data Center for the first time with no existing Bamboo Server data to migrate, check out how to install a Bamboo Data Center trial.
Set up Data Center
Things you should know about when setting up your Data Center:
License
It’s your Bamboo license that determines the type of Bamboo you have: Server or Data Center. Bamboo will auto-detect the license type when you enter your license key, and automatically unlock any license-specific features.
To upgrade from Bamboo Server to Bamboo Data Center, you will need a Data Center license. You can either purchase a full Data Center license or get a free trial license for 30 days. When your 30-day trial finishes, you’ll have the option to purchase a Data Center license and carry on using Bamboo Data Center without losing any data you’ve created during the trial. If you decide Bamboo Data Center is not for you, you can easily revert to your existing Server license.
Upgrade to Data Center
Review and upgrade your apps
If you have any apps installed on your site, you'll need to upgrade to the Data Center app version, if one is available. To avoid any impact to your apps, we recommend you do this before you enter your Bamboo Data Center license key. Learn more about upgrading Server apps when you migrate to Data Center
