Hi,

All you have to do is

- download a Developer Edition bundle (I’d recommend the 7.9 LTS version, which was just released last week)
- configure it to point to your database
- provide the extra plugins you’re using (check the [Plugin Version Matrix](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/plugin-version-matrix/) for the lastest compatible versions rather than automatically copying over the versions you used with your 7.6 Community Edition)
- shut down your Community Edition
- spin up spin your Developer Edition

Assuming you did choose the upgrade, you’ll need to fire off the DB migration (details in the [upgrade guide](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/)), and then you’ll need to log in as an administrator and provide the License Key you previously obtained.
