We are near to setting up SonarQube Community v7.9.5 LTS, if we acquire Enterprise Edition then : 1. What would be the procedure ? 2. How will the transition happen from SonarQube Community v7.9.5 LTS to Enterprise Edition ? 3. How much time will it take for the transition to complete ? 4. Will we get the required technical support from Sonar Source Team to help with smooth Transition ? ---

Hi, When you upgrade from one edition to another within the same version, you simply: - expand the new zip - configure `sonar.properties` - stop the old instance - start the new instance & done. If you’re upgrading editions _and_ versions, then it’s handled like a [standard version upgrade](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/).   HTH, Ann
