=== Upgrade considerations

If you plan to upgrade your existing Cluster to a version that can be run in
If you plan to upgrade your existing cluster to a version that can be run in
a FIPS 140-2 enabled JVM, the suggested approach is to first perform a rolling
upgrade to the new version in your existing JVM and perform all necessary
configuration changes in preparation for running in fips mode. You can then
perform a rolling restart of the nodes, this time starting each node in the FIPS
140-2 JVM. This will allow {es} to take care of a couple of things automatically for you:
140-2 JVM. This enables {es} to take care of a couple of things automatically for you:

- <<secure-settings, Secure Settings>> will be upgraded to the latest format version as
- <<secure-settings,Secure settings>> will be upgraded to the latest format version as
previous format versions cannot be loaded in a FIPS 140-2 JVM.
- Self-generated trial licenses will be upgraded to the latest format that
is compliant with FIPS 140-2.

If you are on a appropriate license level (platinum) you can elect to perform
a rolling upgrade while at the same time running each upgraded node in a
FIPS 140-2 JVM. In this case, you would need to also regenerate your
`elasticsearch.keystore` and migrate all secure settings to it, in addition to the
necessary configuration changes outlined below, before starting each node.
