# 25.18.0 - On premise

We’re bringing you **powerful new updates** designed to make your work **smoother, more secure, and more efficient**! Let’s dive in:

### 🔄 **PAT for Jira Sync – A more secure way to sync projects**

Good news for teams using **Jira Data Center**! You can now set up **sync between Jira and aqua projects using a Personal Access Token (PAT)** instead of basic authentication. This ensures a **more secure** and **reliable integration** between the two platforms.

👉 [**Learn how to set up PAT for Jira sync here.**](https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/integrations/jira-sync-synchronize-items-between-aqua-and-jira-projects/sync-of-the-projects-between-aqua-and-jira)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Switching from basic authentication to PAT?** You’ll need to **recreate your syncs** to apply the change.
{% endhint %}

### 📊 **License usage statistics & Excel export**

Keeping track of **who’s using your licenses** just got easier! Now, you can:

* View **detailed license usage statistics** for better transparency.
* **Export license usage data to Excel** for reporting and analysis.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/product-updates-for-on-premise-customers/product-updates/2025/25.18.0-on-premise.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
