Customers must be aware of migration costs and effort if an upgrade to a more recent service or main release is required. Customizing that cannot be easily migrated is a risk if migration to a new ARIS version is required. Examples:
The customer wants to use new features of other ARIS products.
The customer must update because of the vulnerability in third party product, an ARIS product, or an ARIS service.
The customer has an installation that is hosted by Software AG. They are automatically updated to the latest version with each service release twice a year, in April and October.
