Hello,

Currently we are using SonarQube version 7.6 developer edition however after some reevaluation we want to downgrade to the latest community version. Can I follow the standard upgrade procedures ([https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/)) to go from developer version 7.6 to community version 7.7 or are there separate steps that will need to be taken to do so?

Thanks,  
Kj

Hi Kj,

I don’t recall testing this myself, but this should work just fine. Feel free to come back (probably in new threads) if you have specific questions/issues.
