This section covers the Upgrade process to upgrade your Extender data and resources from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 / 2016.

New Installation of Extender on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018:

If you are installing into an environment on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 where Extender was never previously installed, please see the New Environment section.

Upgrading to the latest build for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018:

If you are currently using Extender with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 and are just trying to upgrade to the latest build, please see the Upgrading 2018 Install section.

The Extender upgrade follows the supported upgrade paths from 2015 and 2016 that are available for Microsoft Dynamics GP.  You can find these on PartnerSource or CustomerSource in the Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 Hot Topic.

As in any upgrade process, we recommend that you use a test environment to walk through the upgrade process.  By doing this, you can identify and resolve any potential issues that may occur in the upgrade process.  A test upgrade also allows you to lean the new features in Extender before putting it into production.

If you are on a previous release of Extender and Microsoft Dynamics GP such as 2010, you are going to need to do an intermediary update to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 or 2016.  Please review the upgrade steps in that releases manual for more information on the process for the appropriate build.
