If you've deployed Community Edition on a currently supported platform, when you're ready to upgrade, your upgrade experience will be seamless. Upgrading Community Edition on a supported platform to Small Business Edition or Enterprise Edition involves an in-place, license key-only upgrade that can be performed without any user disruption even while users are logged in and active.
We now have available Starter Packs that make upgrading from the Community Edition a great value for smaller organizations. Available in 5 or 10 Premium User Packs, they also include ActiveSync licenses. Starter Packs can be purchased online in select regions.
