Typical Manager 2026 supports Microsoft SQL Server 2022 & 2025. This article explains why and what to do if you are on an older version.


To provide you with the best possible experience and the highest level of security, Yellax supports only SQL Server versions that are currently under official Microsoft support and not considered End of Life.


Supported versions for Typical Manager 2026:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2022
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2025


Both versions are fully supported. You can stay on SQL Server 2022 when migrating to Typical Manager 2026, or you can move to SQL Server 2025 at a pace that suits your organization.


What this means compared to Typical Manager 2025 Typical Manager 2025 supported Microsoft SQL Server 2022. Typical Manager 2026 continues to support SQL Server 2022 and additionally supports the new SQL Server 2025 release. If you are currently on SQL Server 2022, no database upgrade is required before migrating to Typical Manager 2026.

If you are currently on an older SQL Server version (for example, SQL Server 2019), you must upgrade to SQL Server 2022 or 2025 before migrating to Typical Manager 2026.


Why upgrading your SQL Server matters

  • Security: SQL Server updates include important security patches and fixes that address known vulnerabilities. Upgrading to a supported version helps keep your data protected.
  • Performance and stability: Newer SQL Server versions generally bring significant performance improvements and enhanced stability, resulting in faster queries and a more reliable database environment.
  • Feature enhancements: Microsoft regularly introduces new features and capabilities. Staying on a supported version means you can take advantage of those improvements.
  • Vendor support: Running a supported SQL Server version ensures you receive continued support from both Yellax and Microsoft. If something goes wrong, both teams can help you resolve it.


Risks of continuing on an unsupported version Staying on an unsupported SQL Server version poses risks to data security, system performance, and overall stability. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported SQL Server version as soon as possible.


What to do before migrating to 2026

  1. Check your current SQL Server version.
  2. If it is SQL Server 2022 or 2025, no database upgrade is required — you can proceed.
  3. If it is older than SQL Server 2022, plan an upgrade to SQL Server 2022 or 2025 before you migrate Typical Manager.
  4. If you are unsure about the correct sequence, contact the Support Desk — we are here to help you plan it.
