Another reason to like the FreePBX distro

It is able to be upgraded.

I had a test system installed last year running FreePBX 12 with Asterisk 11. Current at the time.

Prior to nuking it (as I no longer need it) I wanted to look at the upgrade path, if one existed.

Well it does.

First, from a command line I switched from Asterisk 11 to 13.

Then You go into Modeul Admin, find the PBX Upgrade module, and enable it.

Then you get a new link in the admin menu to start the upgrade.

A few clicks, and away it goes.

I haven't played with it yet but it's planned for the near future. Sounds great.

Isn't the upgrade module a paid module? I've done all of my upgrades sequentially via their upgrade/update scripts... Not awful, but can be time consuming if you don't stay on top of them.

No, it's free.
