Enterprise back to Open Source

**columbiacrm** · 2006-09-30, 01:36 PM

I have a client who has used Enterprise for the past year, after a major restructure of their business they no longer need the Enterprise version and want to go to Open Source. What is the best process to role the database back?

I would suggest that you export the data that you need, then re-import into a clean installation of SugarCRM Open-Source.

It's not so straight forward. There are some addiotional database tables and columns in Enterprise compared to those of Open Source.

So if I do a clean install and then import data from enterprise to the new database for matching tables will the relationships table cause the issue? I can use the suggestion of importing Accounts and Contacts but have custom fields for both that may be an issue

Thanks for the response,
