Microsoft ships a new Business Central twice a year. Your custom code does not get a vote.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The pain<\/h2>\n

Business Central 2026 release wave 2 arrived in October. The update window closes in early March. Once it is enforced, an extension that blocks the update can be uninstalled automatically.<\/p>\n

Why it happens<\/h2>\n

Most companies find out their extensions are not compatible on update day, in production, with users waiting.<\/p>\n

Before: Hope as a strategy<\/h2>\n
October: new release ships\nNovember to February: nothing\nMarch: no more delays allowed\nUpdate runs, extension blocks it\nUsers call. Everyone panics.<\/code><\/pre>\n
After: Rehearse it in a sandbox first<\/h2>\n
1. Copy production to a sandbox\n2. Update the sandbox to v29\n3. Compile and run your tests\n4. Fix what breaks\n5. Schedule production on a date\n   you choose<\/code><\/pre>\n
The result<\/h2>\n
You pick the update date, you know it works before it runs, and nobody finds out the hard way.<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Admins can reschedule the update to any date inside the five month window from the Business Central admin center.<\/p>\n
