Before upgrading to ETS6
Upgrading from ETS5 to ETS6 is straightforward, but a few precautions will ensure your projects transition smoothly.
Lisense availability
Once you upgrade, your ETS5 license will no longer be available for download in your MyKNX account. It is replaced by the new ETS6 license.
Dongle usage
No new dongle is issued for the upgrade. After upgrading, choose one of the following activation methods:
- Dongle-based activation: Activate your ETS6 license on your existing ETS5 dongle.
- Cloud-based activation: Requires a stable, permanent internet connection.
More details: ETS6 licensing
Project backup (mandatory)
Export all ETS5 projects as project or archive files before upgrading. If no backup exists and your dongle later becomes unusable, your projects can only be recovered through the paid Project Recovery Service.
How to upgrade
Your upgrade options are shown in your MyKNX account under Shop → Available Upgrades, where you can select the license you want to upgrade to.
If no upgrades are shown under Available Upgrades, the license you want to upgrade doesn't appear under Account → Products in the account you're logged in to. It may be registered under a different account. Contact us at info@knx.org and we'll help you find it.
