Check	Description
Release Notes	Review the complete release notes, known issues, compatibility requirements, and required actions.
Database Backup	Create and verify a recent restorable backup of the Muhasib ERP database.
Active Users	Ensure users have completed or saved active transactions before the update begins.
Compatibility	Confirm compatibility with the operating system, database, connected services, and integrations.
Maintenance Window	Schedule an appropriate maintenance window where the update may interrupt normal operations.

**Do not interrupt the system while an application update or database migration is in progress.** An interrupted update may leave the application or database in an incomplete state. --- ### Editions and Subscription Plans Muhasib Free and paid Muhasib ERP plans may use the same underlying product release. Access to modules, premium features, usage limits, and additional capabilities is determined by the applicable edition, plan, subscription, license, and entitlements. Installing a new version does not automatically provide access to modules or premium features that are not included in the organization’s current plan. --- ### Best Practices - Review the release notes before installing every Muhasib ERP update. - Keep production environments on a current or supported version. - Create and verify a database backup before major updates and migrations. - Install updates during a planned maintenance window where required. - Confirm the compatibility of connected systems and integrations. - Test critical business processes after completing an update. - Record the installed version and build number for technical support purposes. - Do not install preview releases in production unless explicitly authorized. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Are all Muhasib ERP updates mandatory? Not every update is immediately mandatory.
