Switching of WAPT Edition (Community, Discovery, Enterprise)

WAPT Community is not suppported anymore on version WAPT 2.2. If you want to upgrade from WAPT 1.8.2 Community you can upgrade to WAPT 2.2 Discovery. Please note that WAPT Discovery is limited to 300 client computers maximum.

To upgrade from a WAPT Community setup to WAPT Discovery or Enterprise follow the standard 1.8.2 to 2.2 upgrade documentation.

To upgrade WAPT Discovery to WAPT Enterprise simply upload a valid licence to the WAPT Server from the WAPT Console.

If your Enteprise licence expire, it will fall back on the Discovery Edition. If you have more that 300 client computers in your server while in Discovery mode, the console will be limited and you’ll have to delete computer entries in the inventory in order to go below the 300 computers limit.
