If you are upgrading from v3.x, you will need to perform a migration to v4.x since our application was redesigned and the database schema are completely different. This is a significant undertaking.

Also refer to our migration google group for additional support and information: https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/dataverse-migration-wg
