===SME Server 8.1beta2===
Due to the large number and size of updates for SME 8.0, we are working on a new installer ISO to include all updates of CentOS 5.9 in SME Server 8.1. Please, use only for test purpose to help with development. You should read these [[SME_Server:8.1|notes]] to be aware of any and all new features.
See this [[SME_Server:Download#Testing_release|wiki page]] to download the ISO.

{{Note box|After installing the 8.0 final release, users should ensure that smeupdates-testing repo is disabled in the server-manager panel, if it was previously enabled during beta testing.}}
{{Note box|You are advised to only upgrade clean machines, e.g. without contribs or other modifications. If any contribs is installed you must remove them; you may re-install contribs after upgrade. All contribs settings are saved in /etc/e-smith/templates or /etc/e-smith/templates-custom so when you re-install any contrib settings will be retrieved.}}
See [[Bugzilla: 6732]] and [[Bugzilla: 7056]]
{{Note box|Before performing an upgrade to SME 8 from version 7.xx you need to fully update the installation of version 7.xx before attempting the upgrade.}}
Please report any issues to our bug tracker under the SME Server 8 section only if you have installed all current updates.

====CD====
This is the most affordable way to get a clean and secure upgrade. During the upgrade process the existing installation is detected and the option to upgrade the existing system is displayed.
If upgrading with less than SME Server 8.0 Beta 6, reset repositories to SME 8, see below, bug [[bugzilla:5705]]. This is fixed for SME Server 8.0 Beta 6

====Yum====
====Yum====
Even if possible and tested the yum upgrade must be performed only with stable internet connections and, above all, not remotely. Loosing connection may leave your system in an unknown state.
Check for known issues, here [[SME8.0 QA]] and at open bugs for SME 8 in bugzilla.

VMware-server installations need some tweaking at this stage, see [[VMware_server_on_SME8.0beta5]].
VMware-server installations now work per the wiki entry, see [[Vmware]]. Previous work arounds dated SME8beta5 are no longer required.
