You can upgrade your existing P6 Professional database (release 15 and 16 or version 6.2, 6.2.1, 7, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4) to P6 Professional Version 20. You must upgrade your P6 Professional database so it will work with the new version. Use the Database wizard to upgrade your database automatically. The wizard runs the necessary scripts to upgrade the database structure and an upgrade program to add data required by the new version.
Note: If you are upgrading from release 5.0, 6.0, or 6.1, you must first upgrade to release 6.2.1. See the 6.2.1 documentation for more information.
If you are upgrading from a release earlier than version 8.1, all risk data fields are migrated during the upgrade; existing fields are mapped to new fields. See Risks Migration for more information.
Methodologies are not migrated; you must convert them to projects before upgrading. See Convert Methodologies to Projects for details.
