How to upgrade to Field Service Version 8

Posted on by BradSymons 95

Has anyone been able to upgrade from field service 7.5 to version 8.0

Referring to https://community.dynamics.com/365/b/365teamblog/archive/2018/11/08/release-notes-for-field-service-version-8-update-release-2 there is an enhancement for :

  • Enabled the ability to upgrade from previous versions of Field Service to Field Service version 8.


I do not see an upgrade for field service available in any organisation beyond 7.5.6.97


Surely if the release notes show it as available we should be able to upgrade through the admin center?

Is this another feature that will only be available for upgrade as part of the April release?

    Hi @Abood, yes, for upgrades in existing paid tenants, you still need to enroll into the insider program.

    I think if you want to do the update before mid of may: yes. Or you create a new trial and get v8 there to examine what you're looking for.

    thanks, just managed to get a sandbox environment and can see the havoc upgraded it creates in the old ui. Turn around time from requested access was under an hour which was impressive

    No worries, it is GA. The reason for the opt-in process is that FS v8 is only available in the new UI. An "accidental" upgrade could cause lots of issues if the end users have not been prepared.

    thanks Alex, makes sense. So does this mean that version 8 upgrade as not actually at GA right now?
