Request Update Activation Keys

Note

In general, you need an activation key when updating to a major release (for example, 3.x to 4.x) or minor release (for example, 3.1 to 3.2). You do not need an activation key when updating a point release (for example, 3.1.1 to 3.1.2). However, you should read the product release notes for specific information about whether or not you’ll need an activation key.

To request upgrade activation keys
