Upgrading to Data Center from an older version of server can be challenging, so we recommend that you first upgrade your products to that latest Long Term Support (LTS) release if you aren’t already on one.

Convert your Server apps to Data Center

If you have any Server apps installed on your instance, this is where you should upgrade to a Data Center-approved version of each app, where available. If you upgrade your Data Center product license before you upgrade your apps, they may stop working.
