Dear all,

I’ve got OpenVidu 2.8.0 running on an AWS and I need to upgrade. I’ve taken a look a the docs,  
[https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.11.0/deployment/upgrading/](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.11.0/deployment/upgrading/).  
There it states for AWS Deployments that you can enter the ‘OpenVidu version’ to which you want to update, click Next etc. and you’re done,  
The only thing is, I’m missing the ‘OpenVidu version’ field. I’m guessing it has something to do with the template. I’m uncertain how to proceed, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction!

Best regards,  
Peter

We have changed multiple things in deployment from 2.8.0 version and it is not possible to upgrade it directly.

Please deploy a new version with the newest installation procedure and copy the data from current installation to the new one.

For future versions we have improved the upgrading procedure.

Regards

Thanks for the quick reply!!  
I’ll setup a new and fresh installation.
