    Migration: Migrating from RavenDB 5.x to 6.x

    • RavenDB 6.x supports in-place migration of RavenDB 5.x data.
    • During the first startup after replacing the binaries with the new ones, the data will migrate automatically.
    • RavenDB 5.x product licenses do not apply to RavenDB 6.0.
      To upgrade a valid 5.x license to a RavenDB 6.x license, please use the License upgrade tool as explained here.

    Please note that once upgraded, RavenDB 6.x cannot be downgraded to version 5.x, and the migrated data will no longer be accessible via RavenDB 5.x.
    Please create a backup of your data before migrating.
