This section describes how to upgrade from Abiquo 5.4 to any Abiquo 6.0.x or Abiquo 6.1.x version. Please contact Abiquo Support for further information.

• The upgrade will overwrite lang_en_US_labels.json. If you have customized labels or translations, back them up before the upgrade and restore them afterwards accordingly.
• The upgrade will overwrite the SAML login configuration for multiple IdPs. If you use SAML with multiple IdPs, back up the configuration files before the upgrade and add the multiple IdPs afterwards accordingly. See Restore SAML security beans after upgrade
