Release Upgrade Compatibility
This upgrade compatibility matrix describes which versions of Nintex K2 ("Installed Nintex K2 version") can be upgraded to which later versions of Nintex K2 ("Version to be installed").
Note: 
  • Nintex strongly recommends that you upgrade to the latest released version to ensure you receive all new features and fixes.
  • See Support lifecycles for more information about product versions currently in standard or extended support.
  • If you have Nintex K2 installed with the K2 database in Azure SQL, you must upgrade to the next version of Nintex K2 versus jumping versions. For example, if you are on Nintex K2 Five (5.2) and you wish to upgrade to Nintex K2 Five (5.5), you must first upgrade to Nintex K2 Five (5.3), then to Nintex K2 Five (5.4), and finally to Nintex K2 Five (5.5).
