## Q: What are the upgrade requirements?
All customers on Consul Enterprise 1.8/1.9 must first upgrade their agents to the latest patch release.
The license file must also be set in an environment variable or file path. Otherwise,
the Consul agents will fail to retrieve the license with a valid agent token.
The upgrade process varies if ACLs are enabled or disabled in the cluster. The following table and corresponding sections describe common 1.10.0 upgrade scenarios.
| Client Version | Server Version | ACLs | Guidance |
