Use the following steps to check if your code tree and database are eligible for upgrade to Aras Innovator 37.

To check eligibility for upgrade

  1. The minimum supported version of SQL Server is 2016. Make sure that the SQL Server where the database of the Aras Innovator instance is installed is SQL 2016 or higher; otherwise, the upgrade process will fail with an error.
  2. OpenSSL library must be installed on the server where the upgrade patch will be executed via Aras Update. It is necessary for generating any missing certificates.
  3. Log in to Aras Innovator as an administrator.
  4. Click the User Menu icon and select About from the dropdown menu.

  5. Confirm that the dialog shows the following:
