Migration of SuiteCRM 8.9.3 to 8.10.x

Hello,

I’m still pretty new to SuiteCRM. At the beginning of the year, we started setting up version 8.9.3. We’ve been using this version for some time now. Given the many CVEs that have been resolved, we’d like to upgrade our version.

Can I simply download the upgrade package for version 8.10 and perform the migration according to the instructions? Are there any risks I should be aware of? Any other tips?

Best regards
Matteo

Do you have customization or custom code in SuiteCRM?

Practical advice

  1. Take a full backup of files and database.
  2. Test the upgrade on a staging copy first.
  3. Read the release notes for both your current version and the target version.
  4. Upgrade to the latest 8.10.x available, not just 8.10.0.
  5. After upgrading, run the required repair/rebuild steps and verify custom modules, Studio changes, email, PDFs, and scheduled jobs.
