I need to update Ignition from version 8.1.38 to 8.3.0, the new version. Well, I’ve checked the main guide in the user manual, but I think it boils down to these steps: - Download the Linux Installer 64-bit (1.9 GB) on another machine. - Copy that file to your server (via USB, internal network, etc.). - Stop the Ignition 8.1 service. - Run the 8.3 installer. - Restart the service and validate that everything is the same. Could you please explain if doing this won’t affect anything, or if the service I currently have with the paid license will remain active? I have the Basic Care plan, but I’m not sure if this would be the correct update. It’s worth noting that the server does not have network access. ---

Your license probably is not updated for 8.3 yet, and without internet access you're going to have to do the offline refresh and reactivation process... I would call support and make sure your license is set up for 8.3 before you begin this. ---

8.3 is in Beta, so there’s no way to predict if it won’t change anything. It will probably change alot of things. Do not do this to a production environment. Test purposes only. ---

Judging from the number of bug posts and feature questions, I personally wouldn’t use it outside of a development environment where you go through extensive testing. It’s not like upgrading an 8.1.x to a later version. There are fundamental engine differences from what I read.
