Business Central upgrade compatibility matrix

You can upgrade from one major version of Business Central to the next. However, minor updates are regularly made available for each major release, like 23.11 or 24.5. Whether you're upgrading from one on-premises version to another, or you're migrating to Business Central online, it's important to target an update versions that are compatible with your current version.

Learn more about the supported paths in Supported Upgrade Paths. For an overview of compatibility across minor versions, refer to the relevant sections in this article.

Tip

Some versions are marked with 1, which means that the compatible upgrade versions for that version aren't available yet. If you are currently operating on this version, you'll have to wait until the next round of updates before you upgrade.
