In-place upgrade paths

The following matrix shows the available in-place upgrade paths for Automation Suite versions:

- a direct in-place upgrade path between major versions is available;

warning - an intermediate in-place upgrade between your initial and targeted major versions is needed.

We strongly advise upgrading to the most recent minor version of Automation Suite. This allows you to take advantage of the latest enhancements and guarantees the seamless operation of all internal components.

Note:

In some cases, upgrading Automation Suite requires transitioning through an intermediate version or skiping some versions entirely to maintain the smooth functioning of the internal components. Not following the upgrade guidelines in the previous table may lead to an internal component downgrade or an unsuccessful internal component upgrade, thereby causing the Automation Suite upgrade to fail.
If you plan to upgrade from Automation Suite 2022.10 or earlier, and Process Mining is enabled, you must migrate process apps to the new process graph layout before starting the upgrade.
If you use Active Directory (AD) and are planning on upgrading to 2023.4.0, we highly recommend that you skip straight to the 2023.4.3 version, as 2023.4.0, 2023.4.1 and 2023.4.2 are impacted by an AD issue.
Only upgrades to Automation Suite 2023.10 and later leverage the simplified upgrade process.
