The process of upgrading to OpenROAD 6.2 may involve simply upgrading the software and performing some basic tests, as with a 5.1 migration. However, for a more complex or sizeable OpenROAD installation we recommend that you take a more considered approach and create a project plan from which to execute the upgrade. For example, upgrading from older releases requires additional information, which you can find in Upgrade Considerations for OpenROAD Releases.

This section suggests areas to consider when planning an upgrade. It is not intended as a definitive upgrade plan, but as a guide to creating one. Your actual plan will depend on the scale, complexity, and methodologies of the installation and your business.
