Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTS at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

> 7.6 → 8.9.10 → 9.9.1 → 10.1 (last step optional)

You may find these resources helpful:

- [LTS to LTS release upgrade notes for 8.9 to 9.9](https://docs.sonarqube.org/9.9/setup-and-upgrade/lts-to-lts-release-upgrade-notes/)

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that [here](https://community.sonarsource.com/c/sq/9-9-lts-upgrade/47).

You can do the edition upgrade seamlessly as part of the version upgrade.
