         <div class="screen_text">
             <p>If you have been using <b>Community Edition</b> for some time and now want to make use of the advanced online office functionality, you can migrate to <b>Enterprise Edition</b>. Using <b>Enterprise Edition</b>, you will be able to:</p>
             <ul>
                 <li>get more control over your data due to using the backup and restore features,</li>
                 <li>simplify the portal update process,</li>
                 <li>use more than 20 simultaneous connections allowed for document editing,</li>
                 <li>use the portal under your own brand.</li>                 
             </ul>
             <div class="notehelp">The detailed comparison of the <b>Community Edition</b> and <b>Enterprise Edition</b> capabilities can be found  <a target="_blank" href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/compare-server-editions.aspx">here</a>.</div>
             <p>This article describes how to upgrade from <b>Community Edition</b> to <b>Enterprise Edition</b> on Windows assuming that the default installation directories remain unchanged.</p>
         </div>
      </div>
      </div>

    <h2 id="step1"><span class="style_step">Step 1. </span> (optional) Creating database backup</h2>
    <div class="block_of_step">
        <div class="screen_text">
            <p>As a precaution, you can perform the backup of the folder that contains portal data:</p>
            <p><code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Ascensio System SIA\ONLYOFFICE Community Edition\CommunityServer\Data\</code></p>
            <p>In case you plan to install <b>Enterprise Edition</b> on a different server, or MySQL server is installed in a different location, you will need to create a backup of the MySQL database using any available software you have for such purposes. If only ONLYOFFICE is installed there, it is sufficient to copy the <code>C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data\</code> folder.</p>
            <p>After all the data is backed up, please check the portal for correct launch and remember some user data to be able to check it after the upgrade.</p>
        </div>
    </div>

    <h2 id="step2"><span class="style_step">Step 2. </span>Uninstalling Community Edition</h2>
    <div class="block_of_step">
        <div class="screen_text">
            <p>Right-click the Windows <b>Start</b> button, open the <b>Control Panel</b> and go to the <b>Programs</b> -> <b>Programs and features</b> section.</p>
            <p>Find <b>ONLYOFFICE Document Server</b> and <b>ONLYOFFICE</b> in the list and uninstall them.</p>
        </div>
    </div>

    <h2 id="step4"><span class="style_step">Step 3. </span>Installing Enterprise Edition</h2>
    <div class="block_of_step">
        <div class="screen_text">
            <p>Download and install <b>Enterprise Edition</b>. Please read <a target="_blank" href="<%=VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/server/windows/enterprise/install-enterprise-windows-version.aspx")%>"><b>this guide</b></a> for more details on how to install <b>Enterprise Edition</b> to your Windows machine.</p>
            <p>When <b>Enterprise Edition</b> is installed, go to the <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Ascensio System SIA\ONLYOFFICE Community Edition\CommunityServer</code> folder, where the following two folders are located:</p>
            <ul>
                <li><code>Data</code></li>
                <li><code>Logs</code></li>
            </ul>
            <p>Copy these folders and paste them to the <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Ascensio System SIA\CommunityServer</code> folder.</p>
            <div class="notehelp">By default, <b>Enterprise Edition</b> uses the same database as <b>Community Edition</b>, therefore you do not need to restore the database backup if you install <b>Enterprise Edition</b> on the same server. If you install <b>Enterprise Edition</b> to a different machine, just transfer the backed up folders with portal data and MySQL database to the corresponding directories on the new server.</div>
            <p>Now you can launch the portal and check it for correct work and all data presence. The last thing you need to do is to go to the <b>Payments</b> page and upload your license key. To find out how to buy a license key, you can refer to <a target="_blank" href="<%=VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/server/enterprise/buy-subscription.aspx")%>"><b>this article</b></a>.</p>
