Migrating from ONLYOFFICE Workspace Community to Enterprise on Linux

Introduction

If you have been using ONLYOFFICE Workspace for some time and now want to make use of the advanced online office functionality, you can migrate to ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition. ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition provides extended functionality, such as:

mobile web editors,
regular functionality and security updates during 1 year,
1 year of professional tech support service.

This article describes how to upgrade from ONLYOFFICE Workspace Linux version installed from RPM/DEB packages using the workspace-install.sh script to ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition Linux version by means of the corresponding scripts for RedHat or Debian.

Step 1. (optional) Creating database backup

Portal data both for ONLYOFFICE Workspace and ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition is stored in the /var/www/onlyoffice/Data folder, so that the data should be picked up automatically after updating. As a precaution, you can perform the backup of the folder that contains portal data.

After all the data is backed up, please check the portal for the correct launch and remember some user data to be able to check it after the upgrade.

Step 2. Upgrading to ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition

For RedHat

Get the installation script:

wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/install-RedHat.sh

Run the script specifying the -it workspace_enterprise -u true parameters:
```
bash install-RedHat.sh -it workspace_enterprise -u true
```

For Debian

Get the installation script:

wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/install-Debian.sh

Run the script specifying the -it workspace_enterprise -u true parameters:
```
bash install-Debian.sh -it workspace_enterprise -u true
```

If for some reasons you need to restore the backup data that you have created at Step 1, manually copy the backup folder to the /var/www/onlyoffice/Data folder.

Step 3. Launching the portal and activating your license

When ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition is installed, you can launch the portal and check it for correct work and all data presence. The last thing you need to do is go to the /controlpanel/activate page (open the Control Panel and click the Upgrade to Enterprise link on the top), click the Buy button to buy the license, then upload the license key that you've bought in the corresponding field and click the Activate button. To find out more details on how to buy a license key, please, refer to this article.
