How do upgrades from the free package to a paid one work? Technically.

To make quick update in 1.1 release, you need to follow below steps:

1. Import all tables except modules;
2. Clean database;
3. Upload files from Corporate package to the folder where you had free version installed (This is made to save your attachments, avatars, files)
4. Make clean install of the system;
5. Export db tables that you've saved previously

Anyway, we'll assist you in smooth update from Free to Standard or Corporate package in case any questions or issues.

Update: see update process for 2.x version in comments

In 2.x it's much easier to upgrade as free package is extended:

• Go to License Manager and download package, change license url and download license.key;
• Upload following folders by replacing all files on your server - application, library, tasks, public/assets and api.php, restore.php, index.php from root folder where ur is installed;
• Put license.key in application/configs
• Run manual upgrade script at http://www.domain.com/upgrade;
• Clean cache folder or go to Administration page and click on Clean Cache button.

Now you can install new modules and use extras in comparison to Free package.

To upgrade from free 2.3.7 to corporate 2.3.7:

1. Upload new files from corporate package archive by replacing current;
2. Check folder permissions and files to be writable stated here at Fix Permissions item;
3. Put license url and get license.key and put it to application/configs
4. Clean cache folder

Update on the upgrade process:

• When you do all the following steps, please go to database manager that you use like PHPMyAdmin and in "modules" table remove "freepackage" record and clean cache.
