Upgrade from 4.4.3 to the latest version
This section covers how to upgrade Litium Studio from a previous version. We recommend that you use the Litium Studio Upgrade Program that is included in the release package.
Steps to follow before starting the upgrade.
Backup your database and web.config.
The Litium Studio Upgrade Tool upgrades the Litium Studio product to the latest version. Therefore, after running the upgrade program you need to upgrade the solution part of the project.
The upgrade tool only upgrades the product platform and not the solution. Templates, images, page types or script files (which are stored in the “/UI”, “/App_Code” and “/Site” folder) are part of the solution and will therefore not be updated. Since there is likely breaking changes between product versions, you will also have to ugrade the customizations made to other parts of the solution.
In some cases you might prefer to conduct a manual upgrade rather than using the Litium Studio Upgrade Tool.
