Troubleshooting
If the installation is taking a long time and/or ends in Jira showing an indefinite error message, this is usually due to a missing or invalid payment method or an open quote (account in arrears). Even though the JXL trial is (and even your Jira trial or plan might be) free, Atlassian requires a valid payment method to be on file in order to start trials of third-party apps.
