Problems upgrading from 0.26.1 to 3.0.0

I am on Ubuntu and let apt update from 0.26.1 to 3.0.0 and I am seeing some problems that I’m not sure how to get past.

Some devices are reporting in, but most are throwing errors, here is a sample error:

It appears that if I can get the device to re-register via OTAA then it is OK, but I have many devices in the field and getting them to re-authenticate will be a problem.

I would not recommend upgrading from 0.x to 3.x directly. Please see the changelog for each component for the steps to upgrade to the next major version. E.g. from latest 0.x -> latest 1.x -> latest 2.x -> latest 3.x. When going straight from 0.x -> latest 3.x, you might miss some data-migrations, causing the errors you are experiencing.
