• The WTP and container editions are the highest editions and cannot be upgraded.
• An edition can be directly upgraded to the enterprise or premium edition. To upgrade to the WTP edition, you need to purchase it separately, and then bind it to a server.
• The basic edition can be upgraded to the enterprise, premium, or WTP edition. The enterprise edition can be upgraded to the premium or WTP edition. The premium edition can be upgraded to the WTP edition only.
