Crowd Server and Data Center feature comparison

If you use Atlassian Crowd for managing users, you'll have either a Crowd Server or Crowd Data Center license. 

Your Crowd license determines which features and infrastructure choices are available. We want all teams to get the most out of Crowd, so all the core features related to creating and managing users are available for everyone.

Here's a summary of what you get with each license.
