Download 8.1.4.

Take a GateWay Backup of 8.0.16 as a precaution.

Run the 8.1.4 installer.

V9 is many many moons away.

If there is current upgrade protection or better support on the licenses, the upgrade is free. If not, there’ll be a cost. Check the license numbers with IA sales ([sales@inductiveautomation.com](mailto:sales@inductiveautomation.com) or phone number on their website) for a quote.

8.0.x to latest 8.1.x upgrades should be pretty smooth–but take a gateway backup as suggested by @Matrix_Engineering in case you run into issues. There are [some things you need to consider when upgrading from 7.9.x to 8.x](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Ignition+8+Upgrade+Guide).
