Upgrading to Oracle GlassFish Server From GlassFish Server Open Source Edition

Oracle provides software support only for Oracle GlassFish Server, not for GlassFish Server Open Source Edition. Additionally, some features of Oracle GlassFish Server are not available in GlassFish Server Open Source Edition.

If you are using GlassFish Server Open Source Edition, you can upgrade to Oracle GlassFish Server by purchasing a right-to-use and installing the add-on component for upgrading GlassFish Server Open Source Edition. To obtain this component, and to ensure the reliability of your upgraded installation, you must configure your GlassFish Server installation to obtain updates from the appropriate repositories.

You can upgrade to Oracle GlassFish Server by using either Update Tool or the pkg command.
