Re: [ledgersmb-users] Are there any subscribers using LedgerSMB versions older than 1.4?

[Ryle Zabate <..hidden..>]

Your point about the manual is fair. However, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 are actually not too different from 1.3. There are differences, especially with respect to how the UI is built and there are some more functions in later releases, but there really shouldn't be anything removed.

<<thank you for knowing this and there we can adjust to the new versions promptly.

Yes, you can migrate to higher versions than 1.3 and retain your data. If you're interested in how to do that, I'll create a separate write-up about it. As to whether the migration itself or the use of the new version is completely without issues, I'm not sure. Especially the step to migrate from one minor version to another (1.4->1.5->1.6) has been improving with each release. The reason I was asking the question - and thanks for your answer - is because I wanted to know if there are users who are in need of migration from 1.2/1.3->1.6+. And you confirm that there are.

<<I am interested to the migration of 1.3 going to 1.4 or higher version available.

Hoping to get your write-up the soonest.

Warm Regards.

:)

Hi Ryle,

Your mails aren't appearing in my inbox, so I'm pasting your response below:

Your point about the manual is fair. However, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 are actually not too different from 1.3. There are differences, especially with respect to how the UI is built and there are some more functions in later releases, but there really shouldn't be anything removed.

> Can we now migrate to higher versions of LSMB without any issues and retaining the data of the 1.3 setup?

Yes, you can migrate to higher versions than 1.3 and retain your data. If you're interested in how to do that, I'll create a separate write-up about it.

Hi all,

Migrations have become considerably more controlled since the 1.5 release, which introduces a smooth migration from 1.4.

As such migration paths do not exist for 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, I'm eager to learn if there are any users out there of these old versions, and, if you're not migratiing, what's keeping you from doing so.

If you can't publicly respond to this inquiry, please mail me privately so I can treat your information confidentially.

Thanks for your responses,
