Hello Giang,

as you can read in that article, the Official upgrade procedure will be released by the end of this month - on the 30th of April, 2014.

The only option you have right now is to use the import/export functionality when you will export your website from version 7 and import it into clean installation of Kentico 8.

Best regards, Martin

Thank you Martin. That's exactly what I was looking for. I have Kentico 8.0.1 version. I tried to import site from Kentico 7.0.76 to Kentico 8.0.1. But I am getting error like "An unhandled Microsoft .NET Framework exception occured in w3wp.exe[8948]".

Thanks Vasu

Could be custom code that's crashing it. Or it could be that exported the dlls or other assemblies that are in .net 4.0 and your new site is .net 4.5.
