Time is running out: On September 30, 2025, Broadcom will end official support for Automic Version 21. From that point on, there will be no more security updates, patches, or support – a serious risk not only to system stability but also to compliance. If you want to continue running Automic safely and sustainably, it’s time to actively prepare for the upgrade to Version 24.
With our new Automic V24 Upgrade Learning Path on PEM Automic, you’ll get everything you need to plan and complete your upgrade efficiently and with confidence. Whether you’re preparing for the transition, performing the upgrade yourself, or just want to understand what’s new – this learning path is your go-to resource.
What to Expect in the Automic V24 Upgrade Learning Path
This learning path covers everything you need to know about the Automic V24 upgrade, clearly explained and practically structured. You’ll get a detailed overview of what’s new in Version 24 and its minor releases – including changes that affect Admins, Designers, and Operators.
In addition to technical tutorials, the learning path includes strategic guidance for upgrade planning, tailored to different Automic roles.
A particular highlight: recorded webinars featuring Broadcom experts, who share insights, best practices, and answers to frequently asked questions.
The Learning Path at a Glance: 18 Parts, 5+ Hours of Content
As of June 3, 2025, the Automic V24 Upgrade Learning Path includes 18 parts – and more are on the way. Here’s what’s already available:
- 4 recorded webinars, including sessions with Broadcom
- 10 hands-on tutorials to walk you through the upgrade process step by step
- 3 interactive labs, including our highlight: the full upgrade lab from V21 to V24.4
- Plus: one more live webinar is coming in June
Altogether, you’ll find more than five hours of video content, supported by screenshots, written guidance, and hands-on instructions. The upgrade lab is the heart of the path: You’ll perform the full upgrade on one of the most common system setups (Linux + Oracle) – from preparation to agent migration.
Hands-On Automic V24 Upgrade: The Interactive Lab
The final step of the learning path is the Automic V24 Upgrade Lab – a practical, interactive exercise where you complete a full system upgrade yourself.
In a fully configured test environment with RHEL 8, Oracle 21c, and a preinstalled Automic V21 instance, you’ll upgrade to Automic V24.4 step by step:
- Environment preparation, directory and binary setup
- Pre-checks using official tools and documentation
- Database and Automation Engine upgrade
- Bringing the new environment online
- Agent upgrades (manual and via Centralized Agent Upgrade – CAU)
- UTF-8 compatibility validation
The lab takes about 60–90 minutes and is available to you for a full 24 hours, so you can take breaks and return whenever it fits your schedule.

This Automic V24 Upgrade Learning Path is ideal for anyone involved in the version migration – especially system administrators managing the upgrade process, but also designers and operators who need to understand the new features and changes.
Even if you’re not executing the upgrade yourself, the content will help you better understand the technical impact and functional changes of Automic V24 – in your role, your team, and your project.
