Upgrade paths

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

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

Upgrade path 1:

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. 

Upgrade path 2:

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.

Upgrade path 3:

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.
