Where Odoo 17 Leaves You in 2026
Odoo 17 was released in November 2023 and its standard support ended in September 2026. It gets no bug fixes or security patches, and most current third-party apps and connectors are built for recent versions only.
Odoo 19, released in September 2025, is supported until September 2028 (planned). Two releases sit between the two, bringing changes such as tree views becoming list views and new constraints and security groups.

How We Move Odoo 17 to Odoo 19
Five steps, each with a clear output, so you always know where the project stands.
Get My Free Upgrade AuditAudit
We list your apps, custom modules, third-party apps, and integrations on Odoo 17, then mark each one to upgrade, rebuild, or remove. You get a written scope and a fixed quote.
Test Upgrade
A copy of your database is upgraded through Odoo 18 to 19 while production keeps running. Every error is logged and fixed.
Port Custom Modules
Each module is rewritten for the Odoo 19 framework, including tree views becoming list views and new constraints and security groups.
Reconcile and Test
We compare trial balance, receivables and payables, stock valuation, and open documents with Odoo 17. Your key users then test their daily work on staging.
Rehearse and Go Live
A timed dry run sets the cutover window. Go-live happens off-hours, with a rollback plan and our team on hand afterwards.
Upgrade to Odoo 19 Now, or Wait?
A two-release upgrade is usually the cheapest it will ever be, because each release you skip adds work later. Here is how to decide on timing.
Upgrading now makes sense when
- Odoo 17 no longer gets security fixes.
- You need features or apps that only exist in Odoo 19.
- Your custom modules are few and actively maintained.
- Third-party apps you rely on already have Odoo 19 releases.
Waiting a little can make sense when
- A third-party app you rely on has no Odoo 19 release yet.
- You are in peak season and cannot spare key users for testing.
- You would rather go straight to Odoo 20 once your apps support it.
On Odoo Enterprise
Odoo's upgrade service converts the standard apps and data of your database. Modules built in-house or by third parties are not covered unless they are under a maintenance of customizations subscription, so they still need porting and testing.
On Odoo Community
The OCA's open-source OpenUpgrade project migrates one version at a time, so Odoo 17 to 19 means two consecutive runs. Coverage differs by app and release, so we check each one before planning.

Odoo 17 to Odoo 19 Upgrade Questions
Still unsure about your database?
Can I upgrade Odoo 17 directly to Odoo 19?
Yes, in one project with one go-live. The database still passes through every release in between, Odoo 18, and each custom module has to absorb the framework changes from both releases. We run the whole route on a copy first, so production only moves once.
Is Odoo 17 still supported?
No. Odoo 17 was released in November 2023 and its standard support ended in September 2026, so it gets no bug fixes or security updates. Odoo 19 is supported until September 2028 (planned).
How long does an Odoo 17 to Odoo 19 upgrade take?
It depends mostly on how many custom modules and integrations you have, and how much data you hold. With two releases to cross, custom code is the biggest part of the work. The free audit gives you a written timeline before any work starts.
What breaks most often when upgrading from Odoo 17 to Odoo 19?
Custom code, not standard data. The biggest changes on this path are tree views becoming list views in Odoo 18 and new constraints and security groups in Odoo 19.
Should we upgrade to Odoo 19 now or wait?
Odoo 17 no longer gets security fixes, so waiting adds risk. Plan it for a quieter period, once the third-party apps you rely on have Odoo 19 releases.
Will we keep our historical data?
Yes. An upgrade keeps your full history, including posted invoices, stock moves, and old documents. If some apps are rebuilt instead, we migrate master data and open balances, and the old database stays available read-only for reference.
Can we upgrade Odoo 17 Community to Odoo 19?
Yes. On Community, the open-source OpenUpgrade project migrates one version at a time, so this path means two consecutive runs. Coverage differs by app and release, so we check each one before planning, and port or rebuild where scripts are missing.
