Timeline

sitecore experience commerce UPGRADE
Affected: >= 8.0 and <= 10.4
Fixed in: newer than 10.4
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy experience-commerce || rpm -q experience-commerce || experience-commerce --version
2. UPGRADE to newer than 10.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade experience-commerce
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade experience-commerce
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 8.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison experience-commerce sudo apt install experience-commerce=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo apt-mark hold experience-commerce
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list experience-commerce sudo dnf downgrade experience-commerce-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo dnf versionlock add experience-commerce

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
