Upgrade/Migration Considerations

Upgrade

  • From pre-2024 versions: If the common components have already been installed and upgraded to the latest version, the old/existing product plug-in will be unregistered and replaced by the new plug-in during the install process.
  • From version 2024: If the common components have already been installed and upgraded, the old/existing product plug-in will be retained.
  • If you skip plug-in registration during install, or upgrade/install the common components after installing/upgrading your product, follow the steps in Central Registration.
