Upgrade Compatibility - Repository Manager 2 to 3
Requirement: Always Use Latest Versions
Sonatype always recommends having the latest version 2 upgrading to the latest version 3 (as well as IQ Server for applicable users). Latest versions have the latest bug fixes, especially important for the upgrade process and compatibility with new features of Nexus Repository Manager 3.
Upgrading to an older NXRM3 then subsequently updating to the latest NXRM3 is not equivalent, as it will hit old upgrade bugs.
Requirement: Always Use Same License
When upgrading from repository manager 2 to 3, both versions must have the same licensing setup.
The same license file can be used in NXRM2 and NXRM3 or a license can always be applied at a later time.
| Licensing: Valid Upgrade Path | Licensing: Unsupported Upgrade Path |
|---|---|
Nexus Repository Manager OSS 2 → Nexus Repository Manager OSS 3 Nexus Repository Manager Pro 2 → Nexus Repository Manager Pro 3 | Nexus Repository Manager OSS 2 → Nexus Repository Manager Pro 3 Nexus Repository Manager Pro 2 → Nexus Repository Manager OSS 3 |
