Upgrade checklist

You can upgrade to Dynamics GP from specific versions of Dynamics GP. For the supported upgrade paths, see Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018.

When to upgrade

Before upgrading, we recommend that you create a timetable of the entire upgrade process. This timetable can include the scheduling of a test upgrade, live upgrade, upgrade training, and implementation. Be sure that the scheduled time to upgrade takes place during a time that works best for all Dynamics GP users and for your information technology (IT) staff. You may not want to upgrade before processing payroll checks or closing a year.
