9.A Method A (ArangDB Upgrade)
This is the recommend recommended approach. Install the consecutive versions of ArangoDB until you are on the latest Actify Supported version for your version of CAD Publisher (ArangoDB Compatibility Chart).
If your version of CAD Publisher supports up to ArangoDB 3.9 10 you can use the example below:
...
Upgrading from ArangoDB 3.6.8 to ArangoDB 3.7.18
Then upgrading from ArangoDB 3.7.18 to ArangoDB 3.8.9
Then upgrading from ArangoDB 3.8.9 to ArangoDB 3.9.9
And then finally ArangoDB 3.89.8 9 to ArangoDB 3.10.9.x.
Note - Upgrading that skips major versions, such as 3.6.x to 3.910.x is not officially supported. The officially supported upgrade path is the example given above.

ArangoDB3-3.8.89_win64.exe
ArangoDB3-3.9.59_win64.exe
