Posted on by CU15101500-1 33
Hi everyone,
We activated an Essential licence for a company in BC.
the company already has posted accounting entries and data.
 
now we would like to upgrade to a Premium licence.
 
Is it possible to upgrade the licence without losing any data, or would the existing accountig data be affected?
 
thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
     
    You can subscribe/Buy new license i.e. Premium plan and it will in no way affect your data. However please make sure following.
     
    1 - Make sure you buy all the premium licenses for all the user who currently have Essential licenses.
    2 - All the users who now has Essential licenses now needs to be assigned premium licenses.
    Also this changes needs to be synced to BC. (It happens auto if you do not do manually).
    3 - If you get any issue/error during login make sure you change the Experience tier in the Company information as Premium from current value of essential once the licenses are upgraded.
     
    I do not know about licensing if existing subscription can be upgraded or you need to buy new. That you can check with your existing licensing partner.
     
    Regards,
    Dhiren.
