Upgrade Path from Qlik Sense November 2021 to May 2024

[hudhud_hoda]

Hello,

I am planning to upgrade our Qlik Sense Enterprise on windows environment from November 2021 to the latest version, May 2024.

I have read the documentation and i see that versions from February 2021 and later should first be upgraded to November 2020 then to May 2024. 

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2024/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployA...

So I am seeking clarification on two points : 

1. As the version of qlik that i have is Nov 2021 so is it recommended or required to upgrade to Qlik Sense November 2020 before moving to May 2024?
2. What are the risks or potential issues if I attempt a direct upgrade from November 2021 to May 2024?

I appreciate any insights, experiences, or best practices you can share regarding this upgrade path.

Thank you in advance for your help!

start with this:

also get familiar with the QPI tool that upgrades and 'unbundles' the Postgres database (if you want to do that):

@David_Friend thank you very much for your answer,  I am very new to Qlik upgrade process,
actually what I don't understand is why in the Qlik upgrade guide for May 2024 it says that if we are on a February 2021 version and later => we must first upgrade to an earlier version which is November 2020 , is there any rasions for that or do i misunderstand something ?

thanks alot
