Hi
We have a UAT environment that I would like to upgrade to the latest version without overriding all the settings
The productions site is buscircle.com while the dev box is buscircle.biz (on a different server)
How can i go about doing this or can i have temp licence for my sand box so it will work.

Hi there,
Currently, our license system links the key to a single site, it does allow for some development sites on the same domain, for example dev., staging. or .dev, .local and .test but currently not .biz (because it’s a valid ‘regular’ domain).
One option is to update manually: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-upgrade-event-espresso/#ee4-manual-update
In short download the .zip file from your account page and then install it on the site manually.
With the newer version of WordPress you don’t need to de-activate and delete the plugin prior to uploading the new one. So if you go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugin and upload EE4 there, it should show you the plugin already exists and ask you if you want to replace it:

If that does not happen, then the directories don’t match, that should not happen and you can only have a single instance of EE4 active at any one time so I recommend stopping there if the case, check the directors and you may need to switch to the ‘old’ method of deleting first.
