## Before migrating from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Cloud

To perform migrations to the cloud, install [Cloud Migration Tool](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMT/pages/197955368) on your Jira Server or Data Center instance and [Configuration Manager](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=CMJC&title=Installation%20and%20upgrade)** **on your Jira Cloud site.

> ⚠️ **Supported Jira Cloud plans**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ You must have either the** Standard**,** Enterprise**,** **or** Premium** cloud plan. Trial or paid licenses of these three types are supported.
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ Migrations to Jira Cloud on the **Free **plan are not supported. [Learn more](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/explore-jira-cloud-plans/)

### Prerequisites

- 🌍 Jira Server/Data Center must have access** **to Appfire resources to connect to the Jira Cloud site.** **If internet access is restricted, ensure connectivity to our** **[Cloud API](https://private-api.cmj.botronsoftcloud.com/) and [file storage](https://prod-cmjc-snapshot-upload.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/) is permitted.
- You need **Jira System Administrators **permissions on Jira Server/Data Center and Jira Cloud.
- You need** Site** or** Organization admin** permissions on the Jira Cloud site to create connections and perform migrations. This means that the user you use to create a connection to Jira Cloud must be added to the *site-admins or org-admins *group on the Jira Cloud site. [Learn more](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMT/pages/197856330) about creating connections to Jira Cloud sites.  
You can also learn more about the administrative roles in [Atlassian’s documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/what-are-the-different-types-of-admin-roles/#Admin-roles).
- You need to have the **Service project agent** permission on the Jira Cloud site if you want to migrate Jira Service Management (JSM) configurations.
- If the Cloud instance you’re migrating to is using a **Premium Cloud plan **with the** ***Allowlist*** **option turned on, then you’ll need to add the following IP addresses to its allowlist - **23.23.215.132** and **52.205.121.251**.
- You must install **Cloud Migration Tool** on your Jira Server/Data Center. Visit the [installation instructions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMT/pages/197955368).
- You must install **Configuration Manager for Jira Cloud** on your Jira Cloud site. Visit the [installation instructions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=CMJC&title=Installation%20and%20upgrade).
- You need an Atlassian **API token** for your Atlassian account. [Learn ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMT/pages/197892240)why you need an API token and how to get one.
- You must install the **third-party** **apps **from your Jira Server/Data Center instance on your Jira Cloud site.
