Hi everyone,
I have some automations developed and running on dotnet 6.0 using UiPath Studio 24.10.13. However, my OS is finding vulnerabilities related to dotnet 6.0 being EOL. So I plan to move to dotnet 8.0, but I’m not finding how to migrate from dotnet versions. Is it possible at all?
Thank you for your attention,
Natan Figueira
are you talking about the custom activities you created?
if not then project doesnt have specific .net requirement…net 6 or higher can be used for studio based projects and robots..but newer studio automatically downloads the needed version
Hi, @natanfigueira
No direct switch, but you’re good on Studio 24.10.13 it builds new projects on .NET 8 already.
Update Robot to 2024.10+ (native .NET 8).
Open .xaml in Studio, test publish. Vulns? Rebuild custom libs: swap net6.0 to net8.0 in .csproj, repub.
Re-scan. Fixed. Share vuln deets if not.
Not custom functions.
Just that I’ve developed the project on .net6, so I assume all my packages are compatible with .net6. I also assume that in order to change the .net version on my OS I need to upgrade the automation packages to avoid incompatibility problems.
Am I getting something wrong?
What are .csproj and repub?
The automation is good and running. The problem I have is that my infra team needs to get rid of dotnet 6 because it’s EOL and raises some warning on our VM’s. And I assume I’d need to update all my packages before changing the .net version to avoid incompatibilities.
So you’re saying I should just upgrade to latest studio and it will replace .net 6 by .net 8 and my automations will keep running smoothly with that change?
csproj = C# project config file (open in Notepad, swap net6.0 to net8.0).
repub = republish package (Studio: right-click > Publish).
No, Studio upgrade won’t auto-fix existing projects—they stay .NET 6 compatible until:Update Robot to 2024.10+ (.NET 8 runtime).
Update all packages first (Manage Packages > Update All).
Reopen/publish projects in latest Studio.
Infra warnings = leftover .NET 6 files on VMs from old packages/runtimes. This clears them, bots run fine.
Test 1 process first. Share package list if stuck.
ideally you don’t need to do anything in the project
version is handle automatically
cheers
Sorry, I’m not getting it.
I don’t have csproj, I don’t use C#
I have a project.json, and it shows nothing related to the framework version. I can’t find an option to ‘convert’ anywhere
My question is: How do I get my .NET6 bot to run on .NET8?
As I said, my studio and robot version are already 24.10.13 so it is 2024.10+. And I’m pretty sure that if I just republish the bot, it’ll keep running on .NET6
So how do I make my automation to stop using .NET 6 when running? I’ve seen that new projects will be .NET8 by default. But what about old projects in .NET6, is there a way to convert them? I can’t find anything related to the .NET version on Project.Json or Project Settings
Hi @natanfigueira ,
As @Anil_G said you don’t have to do anything
There’s no way to convert an existing UiPath project from .NET 6 to .NET 8. The .NET version is fixed when the project is created and isn’t exposed in project.json or Project Settings. Republishing won’t change it. The only option is to create a new .NET 8 project and migrate your workflows into it.
Got it!
Thank you so much
