Description
Issue Summary
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver084/license-compatibility-979404319.html references an error "The license could not be installed" when attempting to upgrade a license to DC; The suggested steps there only advice customer to use JIRA Eval license as an intermediate step before upgrade the license to DC version
This doesn't work in all scenarios. For example, if JIRA Service Desk and JIRA Software Apps are present, customers will run into this issue with the same error:
