Upgrade alternatives

Please see what to consider before upgrading if you need additional information on ability changes in order to choose an alternative. 

For an overview of the upgrade procedure, please see how to upgrade to Litium 8. 

Alternative A

Upgrade the platform solution. Use the current database.

All custom functionality that references parts of the Litium API that is no longer available, needs to be re-written.

Alternative B

Make a clean install of Litium. Discard the current solution. Keep the current database.

Only code in use will be moved to the new solution, making this a good opportunity to clean an existing solution of all unused code.

Platform solution: The existing layout and functionality in the old solution that you want to keep, need to be migrated and adapted into the new templates.

Alternative C

Make a clean install of Litium. Discard the current solution and the current database.

Platform solution: The existing layout and functionality in the old solution that you want to keep, need to be migrated and adapted into the new templates.

Database: You must use the database migration scripts to migrate data from the old database.
