Change version to PRO from CE

Installation Issues
1

Hello, if I use the CE version, can I switch to the PRO version at any time on my used CE or do I have to set up the system again and migrate passwords?

Hello again @sparco84, thanks for your interesting question.

We have dedicated documentations for this process. You do not need to “migrate” the passwords since you are not re-configuring a new database but you’ll use the same. A migration have to be done as mentioned as well.

Also, it’s good to know that migrating from CE to PRO means that you should have a PRO subscription so if you run into any issues while migrating, you can reach the PRO support any time.

Great, well described process. What if I switch to the PRO version and after two months I want to return to the CE version? Is this possible?

Yes this is definitely possible, I just tried it.

There is some steps that you need to adapt while following the documentation.

  • Step 3: This can be ignored
  • Step 4: You must run sudo apt remove passbolt-pro-server instead
  • Step 5-1: You must run wget "https://download.passbolt.com/ce/installer/passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh" instead
  • Step 5-2: You must run wget https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt-dep-scripts/releases/latest/download/passbolt-ce-SHA512SUM.txt instead
  • Step 5-3: You must run sha512sum -c passbolt-ce-SHA512SUM.txt && sudo bash ./passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh --passbolt-migrate || echo "Bad checksum. Aborting" && rm -f passbolt-repo-setup.ce.sh instead
  • Step 6: You must run sudo apt install passbolt-ce-server instead
  • Step 9: Instead of removing the crond and logrotate for passbolt-ce-server, you must do the contrary.

We may consider adding this documentation in the future, we will discuss it internally.
