upgrading from February 2019 Server

[mstoler]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade from Feb 2019 Qlik Sense to the current release.

Is it recommended to go directly to the November 2020 Release or should I upgrade to a version in between.

Also is the Nov 2020 Release the same as the Sept 2020 Release with the service packs for Sept 2020 plus new features.

Thank You,

Michael

No one will stop you to go direct, But it is not recommended due to several reasons

First install Feb 2020 and then go to Later versions (At least 1 prior version only)

No, Nov 2020 has different additional futures includes Sep 2020..

Hello,

Should I go to Feb 2020 and then Nov 2020 or Feb 2020, Sept 2020 and then Nov 2020?

Thanks,

Michael

The reason why I am recommending Feb 2020 : Due to some security policies started from this version {Includes distribute the certificates from one system to another system : If you are under multi node setup}

SLK's {Signed License Key} which can say more productive

Once you have good exposure in Feb 2020 you can go to Sep 2020 Patch 4 since there are some issues between patches instead Nov 2020 directly..

Hello,

We are not multi-node.

I will upgrade to Feb 2020, then Sept 2020 initial release, apply SP4 and then Nov 2020.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,

Exactly, I would recommend "Sept 2020 initial release, apply SP4" in a same day (If you can)
