• You must upgrade to at least Cascade Server 5.5 before upgrading to Cascade 6.x.  (Cascade 5.7.5 is the latest in the 5.x series)
• Due to heavy database restructuring and optimizations, upgrading from Cascade Server 4.x to 5.x may take several hours.  *DO NOT* interrupt the upgrade process until you can reach the log-in screen!
• Contact Hannon Hill Support if deploying Cascade Server for the first time in a load-balanced environment, as this will require a special license.

Upgrade Steps

1. Shut down your currently running Cascade Server instance.
2. Back-up your production database.
3. Set up a test instance and perform a trial run of the upgrade. All customers are entitled to a test license for this purpose.
4. Apply the upgrade according to the instructions here.
