Mario Antunes Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We are still running our live site on the deprecated PHP7.4, also using older IPS 4.7.2.1 Previous attempt to upgrade the live server to PHP8 failed due to customisations/plugins. Question is about using the license in a test environment. I made a full copy of our IPS forum site on a local VM (offsite, not accessible from the web). When I log in to the admin CP there it tells me about an invalid lisence ofcourse. Can I still attempt a PHP/IPS upgrade or will this (now invalid) license stop me from upgrading IPS later? If all works out on the testbox, I can retrace my steps on the live box. The test VM will be destroyed after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Stridgen Posted November 7, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 7, 2023 You should be using -TESTINSTALL at the end of the license key on your test install. Then you can upgrade from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
