Situation

Upgrading eDirectory 8.7.3 to eDirectory 8.8
Is it possible to upgrade eDirectory to 8.8 from 8.7.3?

Resolution

It is not possible to directly upgrade eDirectory 8.7.3 from eDirectory 8.8 as the schema in eDirectory version 8.7.3 is different from eDirectory 8.8.
If this needs to be done, upgrade eDirectory to 8.7.3.10b and then upgrade it to any 8.8 eDirectory version that you need.
