Community to Enterprise Upgrade Procedure

    1. Use the tool arangodump to take a backup of your data stored by your Community Edition installation
    2. Install the ArangoDB Enterprise Edition package (and start your Single Instance, Active Failover or Cluster)
    3. Restore the backup using the tool .

    Procedure for an In-Place Upgrade

    1. Shutdown ArangoDB and make a copy of your data directory (e.g., in Linux, by using the cp command). If you are using a setup that involves several arangod processes (e.g. Active Failover or Cluster) please make sure all arangod processes are stopped and all the data directories in use are copied in a safe location
    2. Install the ArangoDB Enterprise Edition package
    3. If you are moving from version A to version B, where B > A, start arangod on your data directory with the option (in addition to any other options you are currently using). The server will stop after a while (check the log file of arangod as it should contain relevant information about the upgrade). If you are using a setup that involves several arangod processes (e.g. Active Failover or Cluster) this step has to be repeated for all arangod processes
    4. Start ArangoDB Enterprise Edition (in the same way you were starting ArangoDB Community Edition)
