This Best Practice is dedicated to having a single source of information on general aspects related to migration (upgrade) from the older V6/3DEXPERIENCE releases to the 3DEXPERIENCE R2018x platform.

Please note that the methodology and observations are based on in-house tests on pure OOTB stacks and sample data. In-house tests have been carried out on upgrading to 3DEXPERIENCE R2018x releases starting with V6R2012x.
