The information provided in the article below includes information related to the following AOE upgrade options and additional AOE resources:
This article includes the following sections:
AOE 16.01 -> 16.02 -> 16.03 -> 17.01 -> 17.02 -> 18.01 -> 18.02 -> 18.03 -> 19.01 -> 19.02 -> 20.01 -> 20.02

Before clicking these links, please log in to www.adtran.com . If you do not have an account, create one (instant access) and then you can click the download links to pull the software updaters down.
Below you will find the individual links to the version specific updater files. You will need the updater for each version in between your current AOE version and the 20.02 version, or between 20.02 and the latest release. For example, if your AOE server is currently on AOE 19.02, you will need the 19.02 to 20.01 Updater, and the 20.01 to 20.02 Updater. You only need the 16.03 system updater if you are migrating your server from CentOS 5.X.

AOE upgrade instructions are found below in the Self-Service section.
Below are the different options for upgrading your AOE server up to the AOE 20.02 release and beyond.
Before upgrading, it is important to understand whether your server is on a supported version of CentOS/RedHat. If your AOE server is not on a supported version, a server migration will be required. This process requires turning up a new CentOS server on a supported version, installing AOE, and then loading a backup from your current AOE server. See this article showing how to find the current version of CentOS/Redhat you are using.
NOTE: AOE does not support CentOS/RHEL 8.x and cannot be installed on that OS version.
Before upgrading or migrating AOE, it is recommended to read through the Simple Upgrade Guide to familiarize yourself with the steps. When ready to perform the upgrade, follow along in the guide as you perform the upgrade. You can grab the Updater Files in the above section.
If a server migration is required or desired, please see the Simple AOE Migration and Upgrade Guide.
*** If you are migrating from CentOS 5.X, you must upgrade your current server to 16.02, then upgrade to 16.03 using the System updater, then deploy a new server on CentOS 7.X with AOE 16.03. Migrate your data over to the new server, and then upgrade up to 20.02. ADTRAN ProServices can quote a service to complete this for you.
If you have an Enhanced or Total Network Care Plan, we have an upgrade walk-through video (If you do not have an Enhanced or Total Network Care plan you can purchase this training video).
