Valid IMPAX upgrade paths
(Topic number: 6607)
Sites can upgrade to IMPAX 6.5.3 from any of these versions of IMPAX (supported versions include
any applicable SUs):
• IMPAX 5.2.5—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 5.2
• IMPAX 5.3.1 and 5.3.2—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 5.3
• IMPAX 6.2.1—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 6.2
• IMPAX 6.3.1—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 6.3
• IMPAX 6.4
• IMPAX 6.5, 6.5.1, and 6.5.2
For more detailed information, refer to the IMPAX 5.x–6.x Service Update and Hot Fix Migration
Paths spreadsheet in the Additional documents section of the IMPAX Knowledge Base > Main
Knowledge Base Page.
A site running IMPAX 4.5 can migrate its user data—passwords, IDs, and most preferences—to
IMPAX 6.5.3. However, database data cannot be upgraded directly from IMPAX 4.5 to IMPAX 6.5.3.
The IMPAX 4.5 database data and schema must first be upgraded to IMPAX 5.2, then to IMPAX 6.5.3.
(This can be done during one upgrade, rather than in two separate upgrades.)
