Introduction

The topics in this section describes the upgrade process from Nintex for SharePoint 2016 or Nintex for SharePoint 2019 to Nintex for SharePoint Subscription Edition. With SharePoint Subscription Edition, the upgrade method used must be "Database Attach" instead of an "In Place" upgrade. This guide outlines how to perform a "Database Attach" upgrade of Nintex Workflow.

Nintex will provide migration licenses to assist with the upgrade process. If you are upgrading Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms, then follow this guide from beginning to end. If you are upgrading Nintex Forms only, see Upgrade Nintex Forms.

If you are upgrading to new SharePoint versions in stages, you must ensure that your Nintex content databases map correctly to your SharePoint content databases so that they can be moved at the same time. If you need to split an existing content database to accomplish this, see Split databases.

Note: For a smooth upgrade, ensure you have updated to the latest version of your current Nintex for SharePoint installation before you start the upgrade process.
