Upgrade from 6.3.13 to 8.0

Question

Hello everybody,

we are currently running Jira 6.3.13 and we want to upgrade to 8.0. Can I do this upgrade directly? Has someone already tried this and can share his experience? Or would you recommend to do a stepped upgrade?

Any hint is highly appreciated.

regards

Michael

@ICT Deutschland , anything you can share with us on the approach Nic recommended?

* 6.4 to 7.0
* 7.0 to 7.13
* 7.13 to 8.0

Hi @ICT Deutschland ,

You wanted to give a report...

@ICT Deutschland, I didn't any article that showing direct upgrade from 6 to 8. But from the old documents I can say it is better to go to 7.X and then to 8 as Nic mentioned.

This article might help you to choose the correct version to upgrade (7.X)
