Upgrade MongoDB Community to Enterprise I have a server using MongoDB Community but my client wants additional features that are only able using the Enterprise version.

We're about to buy it, however, I was wondering what should I do to upgrade from Community to Enteprise, and guarantee that all additional features are available.

Is there a license file to add? Should I install from scratch and restore backup? How should I proceed?

Thanks,

Vinicius
Just remove community version (packets) and install enterprise version. Simple, nothing else needed. All those enterprise version features have been compiled into.

If you have replica set, you can do this without down time, just do change one (secondary) node at time.
