5. Select the version you are updating to and follow the instructions:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Umbraco 15 and above" %}
{% tab title="Umbraco 17" %}

* Update the following packages:

* `Umbraco.Forms.Deploy`
* `Umbraco.Cms`
* `Umbraco.Deploy.Cloud`
* `Umbraco.Deploy.Contrib`
* `Umbraco.Forms`
* `Umbraco.Cloud.Cms`
* `Umbraco.Cloud.StorageProviders.AzureBlob`

* Delete the `Licenses` folder and all `.lic` files within it.

* _[Optional]_ If using Deploy and Forms on Umbraco Cloud:
1. Locate and open the `appsettings.json` file (and any environment-specific variants).
2. Add the following section to `Umbraco:Licenses:Products:<ProductName>`:

```json
{
"Umbraco": {
"Licenses": {
"Products": {
"Umbraco.Deploy": "UMBRACO-CLOUD",
"Umbraco.Forms": "UMBRACO-CLOUD"
}
}
}
}
```

This ensures the built-in Umbraco Cloud licenses are recognized after upgrading. Without these values, you may encounter license validation errors even though your project is on Umbraco Cloud.

* _[Optional]_ If you use `InMemoryAuto` models builder, or rely on Razor runtime compilation for editing templates via the backoffice, reference the `Umbraco.Cms.DevelopmentMode.Backoffice` package. For more information, see the [Breaking Changes](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/17.latest/fundamentals/setup/upgrading/version-specific#umbraco-17) article.
