# Upgrading Cloud C² Editions

From version **3.0.1 onward**, Cloud C² editions may be upgraded **in-place** without the need to redeploy the server. \
\
Any edition may be upgraded, from Community to Professional, or Professional to Teams, or any combination therein. *<mark style="color:red;">Downgrades are not supported.</mark>*\
\
In the below **example**, we'll upgrade our <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Teams Gold</mark> edition to <mark style="background-color:blue;">Teams Platinum</mark>, enabling 10 additional users and sites.

## Purchase License Upgrade from the [Hak5 Shop](https://shop.hak5.org/products/c2#upgrade)

[**From the Shop C**² **Page**](https://shop.hak5.org/products/c2#upgrade): **Scroll down** and to the Upgrade Existing License button.

Select the **desired upgrade** from the drop-down menu (*in this example Teams Silver to Teams Platinum)*&#x20;

Enter the <mark style="color:red;">**license key already in use by your C² Server**</mark> and click <mark style="background-color:blue;">**Buy Upgrade**</mark>.&#x20;

Continue to Checkout and complete the purchase as usual.

Once you have [**already purchased your desired upgrade from the shop**](#purchase-license-upgrade-from-the-hak5-shop), this will launch a dialog to reactivate your server.&#x20;
