 Believe it or not, there are quite a few people out there running on versions of DotNetNuke, and haven't upgraded in quite a long time. This could happen for any number of reasons. But it's important to know that upgrading is not always as easy as just dowloading and upgrading to the most recent version. Due to feature inclusion/exclusion, database schema changes, and more, there may be stops you have to make in the upgrade process. It was asked in the forums recently what the suggested upgrade path should be for DNN version X.X.X. This question gets asked all of the time. I know that Sebastian Leupold typically answers this. But I thought it might be helpful to have a reference to turn to. (We would never remember this - unless our name is Sebastian.) This listing is subject to change. All installation and upgrade files can be downloaded from CodePlex. If your current version falls between any of the versions listed below, first upgrade to the version closest to yours. | From Version | To Version | | 2.00.04 | 2.01.02 | | 2.01.02 | 3.01.01 | | 3.01.01 | 3.02.02 | | 3.02.02 | 4.03.07 | | 4.03.07 | 4.04.01 | | 4.04.01 | 4.06.02 | | 4.06.02 | 4.09.04 | | 4.09.04 | 5.00.01 | | 5.00.01 | 5.01.00* |
When upgrading to version 5.00.01, it is recommended that you immediately upgrade again to version 5.01.00. * Please note that you may experience an upgrade error when upgrading to version 5.01.00, in the SqlDataProvider file. This is a non-critical and known bug to be fixed in the next release. If you cannot wait, see the references for a patch. References: LAST UPDATED:

- I suggest to use 3.1.1 instead of 3.1.0 and 3.2.2 instead of 3.2.0
- From 3.2.2 I suggest to upgrade to 4.0.3
- From 3.3.x update to 4.3.7! Due to historic facts, 4.0.3 is a previous version of 3.3.x
