Microsoft Azure Compatible
Tested and approved to run in Microsoft Azure.
DNN Compatibility
Compatible with DNN 9+, 8+, 7+, 6+, 5+ and 4.0.2+, all editions.
Upgrade Path
Given your current DNN version, it shows you the ideal upgrade path to
the
latest version currently available.
DNNBackup Compatibility
It can work with or without DNNBackup. if DNNBackup is installed,
DNNUpgrade
can automate a backup before running each upgrade process.
Automated Upgrade
DNNBackup can automatically grab and apply DNN upgrade packages, saving
you a
lot of time.
Local Upgrade Packages
Instead of the standard packages, you can use your own (local) upgrade
packages. This can be a folder outside the web server, including UNC shares.
DNN Inventory Report
A detailed report of every package and extension installed in your system
along with how and where each of them is being utilized. Very useful for your pre-upgrade
site's review.
Locked Settings
You can define a set of fixed settings (e.g. pointing to a shared folder
where customized upgrade packages are) that the users will not be able to update unless
they
have direct (i.e. FTP) access to the server, even being a 'host' or 'Administrator' user.
Notifications
DNNUpgrade can notify you by email when there is available a new stable
DNN
version.
Download Only Option
DNNUpgrade can be configured to only download (without applying them)
upgrade
packages from the cloud.
Upgrade Packages Folder Browser
Manage the locally available packages (downloaded or manually made
available). You can set permissions regarding allowing uploading and/or deleting packages.
Verify File System Permissions
One of the tools included in DNNUpgrade allows you to easily verify the
right
file system permissions are set in key DNN folders.

This is Important
You do not simply upgrade the production site, even having a fresh full backup.
You should first test the upgrade in a clone/staging site. DNNBackup can help you to create (or update) a clone site.
Testing whether an upgrade process was successful or not, is more than executing the DNN upgrade
process and seeing it finishing without throwing any errors. You should run the upgraded site, and
verify each extension - including modules and skins - currently in use. The Inventory
(Tools > DNN Installation Inventory) can be a good starting point for this task (This is a FREE
feature!).
In addition, you should validate the site's 'Host', 'Admin' features, regular users
functionality, and look for unexpected Event Log entries.
This is especially true when performing a major version upgrade (e.g. from version X to version Y), or
a minor version upgrade (e.g. from X.A to X.B).
Upgrading from X.Y.A to X.Y.B (revision upgrade) is usually not that critical. However, the time you
decide to upgrade directly from X.Y.A to X.Y.B is when it fails, and you will notice it days later.
Bottom line: ALWAYS test the upgrade in a staging site before upgrading your production site.
Major highlights
- Ideal solution for DNN or Evoq upgrading.
- it is the perfect companion for DNNBackup
- Compatible with DNN 9+, 8+, 7+, 6+, 5+ and 4.0.2+, all editions.
- Given your current DNN version, it shows you the ideal upgrade path to the latest version currently
available.
- It can work with or without DNNBackup.
- You don't need to worry about hunting for the DNN upgrade packages. Was it in CodePlex? Is it
in GitHub? Where can I get it? In which URL?. DNNUpgrade will show you all the available releases
in a simple and consistent way.
- Since 2018 CodePlex is gone. You can't find upgrade packages for DNN 4, 5, 6, or 7? Don't
worry! DNNUpgrade still can deliver to you the proper upgrade package for your DNN (or very old
DotNetNuke) installation.
- It can download for you the upgrade packages available in the could. The downloaded packages can be
kept in the configured 'Upgrade' folder or they can be automatically deleted after they
have been applied.
- Nothing happens 'behind scenes'. The upgrade actions happen exactly the same as if you were
manually performing them, but faster.
- You can upload and apply your own upgrade packages.
- Along with the packages available in the could, it will allow you to choose from the locally
available packages, which can be in a folder outside the web site's root or it could also be a
network share.
- All versions of DNN and Evoq are supported (via manually uploaded upgrade packages).
- It does work on Windows Azure
- The Inventory is a very useful free tool for testing an upgraded
site.
- It types for you: The way it operates is the same as you would manually do, but
faster and efficiently.
- By default, just 'Host' users can use this module, but it can be configured to allow
'Administrators' too.
- Locked Settings: You can define a set of fixed settings (e.g. pointing to a shared
folder where customized upgrade packages are) that the users will not be able to update unless they
have direct (i.e. FTP) access to the server, even being a 'host' or 'Administrator'
user. See the module's "Mandatory Settings" setting.
- The license key can be auto-installed. if a
“/portals/_default/Evotiva.DNNUpgrade.LicenseKey.resources” file is found or a
“/desktopmodules/Evotiva-DNNUpgrade/Evotiva.DNNUpgrade.LicenseKey.resources” is found,
it will be automatically installed.
- The available GitHub releases will be automatically hidden in DNN paid versions.
- You can configure if local upgrade packages can be utilized, uploaded or deleted.
- Thanks to the "Mandatory Settings" feature, you can let users (Hosts and optionally also
Admins) upgrade their sites when they want (from the package configured for them). This is,
assuming the upgrade was already applied and verified in a clone site.
- The "Upgrade Packages Folder Browser" feature allows you to see, download and delete
local packages (if these options are enabled in the module's settings page),
and "Installation Inventory" reports.
- Unattended upgrades by calling directly the 'upgrade progress' URL.
- Can be configured to only download upgrade packages from the could.
- It can notify you by email if there is a new stable DNN version available.
