+ Migrating from Odoo Community Edition (CE) to Enterprise + Edition (EE) unlocks advanced features like the Studio, + extra apps, and priority support. The key concern for + most businesses: + can we do this without downtime? +
+Yes — and here's exactly how.
+Prerequisites
+-
+
- An active Odoo Enterprise subscription key +
- A full database backup of your CE instance +
- Your ODOO4projects Powerhouse plan (or higher) +
Step 1: Provision an Enterprise-Ready Instance
++ If you're on a Powerhouse plan, your instance is already + Enterprise-ready. Log in to your dashboard and toggle + the Enterprise flag. The system will prepare a new + environment with the Enterprise codebase. +
+Step 2: Restore Your Data
++ Upload your CE backup to the new Enterprise instance via + the Odoo database management screen. All your data, + workflows, and customizations will be preserved. +
+1. Navigate to: https://your-instance.odooprojects.com/web/database/manager
+2. Click "Restore Database"
+3. Select your backup file
+4. Confirm and wait for completion
+ Step 3: Validate and Go Live
++ Once restored, validate that all modules are working as + expected. Then update your DNS to point to the new + instance. With proper planning, the cutover takes under + 5 minutes. +
