Migrating from ONLYOFFICE Workspace Community to Enterprise on Linux

Introduction

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

mobile web editors,
regular functionality and security updates for one year,
one year of professional technical support.

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

Step 1. (Optional) Creating a database backup

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

After all the data is backed up, check that the portal launches correctly and note down some user data to be able to check it after the upgrade.

Step 2. Upgrading to ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise

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 reason you need to restore the backup data that you created in 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 is installed, you can launch the portal and check that it works correctly and that all the data is present. 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 at the top. Click Buy to buy the license, then upload the license key that you have bought in the corresponding field and click Activate.
