Upgrade JIRA version from 6.3.9 to the latest version

[Great]

Hello,

I would like to know the best way or recommended to upgrade JIRA version from 6.3.9 to the latest version.

Any pre-requisite verion is require such as 6.3.9 --> 6.4 --> 7.1 --> 7.3 --> xxx --> 8.4

Thank in advance,

You should go from 6.3 to 6.4 to 7.0 to 7.13 to 8.5

You might be able to skip the 6.3 to 6.4 depending on your config.  But do NOT skip the 6.x to 7.0 step - skipping that is known to cause problems and should NEVER be skipped.

Thank you for your reply.

I will try to upgrade JIRA to follow the above step in the test environment (VM server).

Hi   

I have jira 7.3.1 i need to update the last version 

what is the step : 

7.3.1 => 7.13=>7.6=>8.12.1

thank for your help

No, you don't downgrade it (you can't)

I'm not sure why there's a 7.6 in the answer here.  For your case, I would use 7.3.1 -> 7.13.latest -> 8.5.latest -> 8.12.latest
