You do not need to uninstall the extensions before updating them. In fact, by uninstalling them, you will lose all configurations (module instances...).
Before updating, make sure you read the change logs and are aware of potential backward compatibility issues.
Moving to Joomla 5 from Joomla 4.4
The upgrade is seamless and no side effects have been reported so far. If you have the latest version installed under Joomla 4.4, no update is necessary when upgrading to Joomla 5.
The extension works properly with the Compatibility plugin enabled.
More testing is needed on sites where the Compatibility plugin is disabled.
Moving to Joomla 4 from Joomla 3.10
For a successful migration to Joomla 4, the extension first needs to be up to date in your Joomla 3.10 configuration.
For general instructions on moving from Joomla 3.10 to Joomla 4, please check this tutorial out!
Must read: specific instructions about the migration for this extension.

Go to Extensions -> Plugins.
Type 'Sesame' in the search box.
Disable the plugins:

If you have been a user of Pay Per Download and want to move on to Sesame Pay for Access, there are a few steps to follow to experience the smoothest migration possible.
- The migration has been tested when migrating from Pay Per Download v6+. Any prior version may encounter issues. Therefore, it is best if you are up to date with Pay Per Download under Joomla 3.
- Make sure all the resources that you have been restricting access to are supported by Sesame Pay for Access. Some resource plugins may still be missing. In that case, hold off the migration, contact the author and request support for the missing resource plugin(s). Supported plugins can be downloaded from this site.
- Alpha User Points are NOT supported in Sesame Pay for Access. However, credit points are not removed and can still be accumulated on purchase. There is no redeeming of the points accumulated. It will be introduced at a later stage.
Go to Components -> Sesame Pay for Access -> Backup/Restore.
If Pay Per Download is installed, you should see 3 additional buttons in the interface.
Button: Import configuration from PayPerDownload
By clicking this button, you will be able to migrate all your Pay Per Download configuration parameters into Sesame Pay for Access. There is no limitation on this task, but once you start changing Sesame's configuration parameters, you will lose those changes by clicking that button again.
Button: Import table data from PayPerDownload
Clicking on this button will transfer data from the Pay Per Download database tables into Sesame Pay for Access tables. This action can be repeated as long as you don't start using Sesame Pay for Access. Every pass will empty the tables first.
Button: Replace PayPerDownload views
Clicking this button will turn all the Pay Per Download menu items you have created into Sesame Pay for Access menu items. This cannot be undone and should be done last, after successful completion of the migration.
If you get any errors, please contact support.
Last details
You can install/enable additional resource plugins and payment gateways at any time during the migration. Nonetheless, these need to be installed/enabled prior to testing (if they were in use in Pay Per Download).
- Do not forget to gather the public and private keys from the payment gateways used in Pay Per Download to inject them in the new plugins.
- Payment gateway(s) need to be setup manually. Testing modes are available in the plugins themselves.
- You need to disable Pay Per Download before testing (at the very least, disable the plugin System - PayperDownload). Go to Extensions -> Manage -> Manage to do so.
At the end of the process, after testing, you can safely remove the Pay Per Download extension. It will also remove the additional migration buttons from the Backup/Restore view.
Pay Per Download extensions you can safely remove:
- Pay Per Download (component)
- Button - Paytoreadmoremore (editors-xtd plugin)
- Content - Paytoreadmoremore (content plugin)
- System - PayperDownload (payperdownloadplus system plugin)
- User - Referer (user plugin)
- All plugins found in the payperdownloadplus folder
Troubleshoot
I can see language keys in the resources view
The associated resource type plugins are probably missing or disabled.
