Hi there,

Just fresh, as of a few minutes ago... the Zurich EA (Early Availability) family release is available! Get a feel for what's new in the Zurich release, what's been altered, etcetera. Upgrade your Personal Developer Instance (PDI) and dive into the new release 😀.

Did your company enroll for the Early Availability program? Then you will also be able to upgrade company subproduction instances.

Upgrade Personal Developer Instance

Might you be less known about how to apply an upgrade on your instance, like the Zurich release or the latest Patch, here's a short how-to:

- Login to the Developer site

- If you already have a Personal Developer Instance:

-- Under the "Your Instance" section (visible after clicking your profile icon on the top right), select "Upgrade instance". In the popup that appears you will see all available options to upgrade your Personal Developer Instance.

- If you don't have a Personal Developer Instance:

-- Just request one for free!

Upgrade Personal Developer Instance or start fresh?

Personally, I take this moment to wipe my Personal Developer Instance and to start with a clean Zurich release instance. Re-provisioning your Personal Developer Instance will take some time and effort if done manually. Have you read about my Blog series on specifically this topic, to provision your PDI quicker?
