#Upgrading From v5 to v6

If you are coming from TypeRocket Pro v5 upgrading should take 15 minutes depending on your project size. When upgrading you will need to access your account and upgrade your license once you have completed the upgrade process.

Only once you have a working upgrade for all of your sites go to "Account -> View Licenses -> View Upgrades" and upgrade to a TypeRocket Pro v6 – Antennae license of the correct size from there for free.

After and before upgrading, you will have access to both v5 and v6. However, your license will only give you automatic updates for your current license type.

#TypeRocket Pro Namespace Change

Update all instances of TypeRocketPro to TypeRocket\Pro. For example, if you are accessing the class TypeRocketPro\Elements\Fields\Gallery you must now call the class TypeRocket\Pro\Elements\Fields\Gallery. It is NOT recommended that you run a find and replace. Find and replace will not account for escapping needed withing strings. For example, a find and replace of TypeRocketPro to TypeRocket\Pro on these strings will cause errors:

# Targets
"TypeRocketPro\\Elements\\Fields\\Gallery"
'TypeRocketPro\Elements\Fields\Gallery'

# Results
"TypeRocket\Pro\\Elements\\Fields\\Gallery" 
    -> TypeRocketPro\Elements\Fields\Gallery
    
'TypeRocket\Pro\Elements\Fields\Gallery' 
    -> TypeRocket\Pro\Elements\Fields\Gallery
