# Upgrade Node-RED

*Upgrade Node-RED to V3*
:::(Warning) (Node-RED V1 Deprecation)
Node-RED V1 will no longer be supported as of OS60. Current timeframe is January 2025.
:::
**For customers on the standard biweekly release cadence**, we encourage you to update to the latest version to take advantage of Node-RED’s latest libraries and MODBUS TCP.

**For customers on LTS releases(11 and below)**, if your device is below OS 56, which it should be, there isn’t a need to swap over. When moving to LTS 12 or above, please upgrade your Edge devices to the latest OS and update their version of Node-RED.

**How do I upgrade my Node-RED version?**
Please see the steps below for reference!

**What happens if I don’t upgrade to the recommended Player version?**
Services that older versions of Node-RED relied upon to operate normally will no longer be supported. This means Node-RED version 1.X and below will experience degraded performance, higher memory consumption, and the possibility of crashing.

**How do I check my Node-RED Version?**
If you’re on OS56 or later, you can check through your Edge Device.

When you log into your Edge device through the Edge Device page on Shop Floor and log into it, you will see your Node-RED version if your device is on OS56 or later.

**If I’m an LTS customer, can I test the functionality out in advance?**
Yes, you can manually update the OS of your Edge device.

In addition, LTS reports will have a QA and validation report for the Tulip OS that corresponds with the LTS you choose to upgrade to.
