## Introduction
This guide explains how to best upgrade a single Consul Enterprise datacenter to v1.10.0
from a version of Consul that is forwards compatible with v1.10. If you are on a major
from a version of Consul that is forward compatible with v1.10. If you are on a major
version of Consul prior to 1.8, you will need to complete and [upgrade to 1.8.13](/docs/upgrading/instructions)
or higher before continuing with this guide. If you are already on major versions 1.8 or 1.9
or higher before continuing with this guide. If you are already on a major version of 1.8 or 1.9, then
this guide will go over the procedures required for upgrading to v1.10. This process
will require intermediate version upgrades to a forwards compatible release of v1.8 or v1.9
as well as other licensing related configuration changes. If you have multiple Consul datacenters
then they are upgraded in the normal order with each upgrade taking into account the instructions below.
will require intermediate version upgrades to a forward-compatible release of v1.8 or v1.9,
as well as other licensing related configuration changes. If you have multiple Consul datacenters,
upgrade them in the normal order and take the following instructions into account for each upgrade.
For the open source version of Consul please follow the
[General Upgrade Process](/docs/upgrading/instructions/general-process).
~> You can only upgrade to Consul Enterprise 1.10 from a version of Consul Enterprise

1.8 >= 1.8.13 or 1.9 >= 1.9.7. Other versions of Consul Enterprise are not forward
compatible with v1.10 and will cause issues during the upgrade that could result in
agents failing to start due to [changes in the way we manage licenses](/docs/enterprise/license/faq).
## Requirements
- All Consul servers, clients and snapshot agents should be on a version of Consul >= 1.8.0 and < 1.10.0. If
they are not at the minimum version or higher, follow [normal upgrade procedures](/docs/upgrading) to get them there.
- All Consul servers, clients, and snapshot agents should be on a version of Consul >= 1.8.0 and < 1.10.0. If
they are not at the minimum version or higher, follow the [normal upgrade procedures](/docs/upgrading) to upgrade them until the version requirement is met.
## Assumptions

- You are familiar with the [General Upgrade Process](/docs/upgrading/instructions/general-process).
- You have the ability to run Consul CLI commands.

## Considerations
The main breaking changes in Consul Enterprise 1.10 that need special handling during upgrading are
the licensing changes outlined on the [Specific Version Details](/docs/upgrading/upgrade-specific#consul-1-10-0)
page. There are notes on that page about other changes that might cause issues during an upgrade as well.
You can find more granular details in the [licensing FAQ](/docs/enterprise/license/faq) as well as the full

Looking through these changes prior to upgrading is highly recommended.
We strongly recommend reviewing the changes prior to upgrading.

procedures are followed. These instructions require licensing related configuration changes
