Upgrading the Add-ons Service
Follow this process to upgrade the Add-ons Service to v9.6. If upgrading from Tridion Sites 9.1, you may have secured the Add-ons Service directly with an external identity provider (IdP). As of Tridion Sites 9.5, this direct way is no longer supported for the Add-ons Service, and you need to configure security in Access Management.
Before you begin
Before upgrading the Add-ons Service, you need to have first upgraded the database.
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating system | You can run the scripts on any machine running an operating system that supports any version of Powershell of 5.0 and higher. |
| Powershell software | Running the scripts requires a version of Powershell between 5.0 and higher. |
| Microsoft .NET Framework | Running the scripts requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or higher. |
