SugarCRM Upgrade from v8.0.0 to v11.x

Hi,

I think you have noticed here that there are no upgrade packages that can raise your version from 8.0.0 - it appears that you need to be at version 8.0.3 to start the journey towards 11.x. Once at 8.0.3 there is a clear path of upgrades to take you 8.0.3 -> 9.0.1 -> 9.0.6 -> 10.x -> 11.x. So you have 2 options that I can see.

First (and probably best / easiest): raise a case with Sugar Support asking them to provide you with the upgrade package from 8.0.0 to 8.0.3 (or somewhere on the direct upgrade path anyway) directly. This package probably once existed and I suspect may have been archived. However, there is a small chance that there is no package that can lift you from 8.0.0 with the upgrader. And so you have:

Second, trickier but achievable: There still exists the download for clean installs of both 8.0.0 and 8.0.3 so you could, in theory, install both of these and do a diff to check what needs modifying in order to raise to 8.0.3 (remember that there may well be database alterations to account for as well as file updates).

Once you are on 8.0.3 the rest should be easy using downloadable packages that already exist.

Good luck. It is quite a journey from 8.x to 11.x

Thanks,

JH.

Thank John for your quick response. I will raise a case and check with the support team regarding the package.

Hi John

We found that there is no package from 9.0.6 to 10.x for the SugarCRM Enterprise edition. But we found that there is a clear path of upgrades to take from 8.0.0-> 8.0.6->9.0.3-> 10.0.0->10.0.5->11.0.2. But there is no direct or step-by-step packages from 8.0.0 to 8.0.6. Please correct me if I am wrong.
