I got this quetion over at AWP on Facebook:

How does upgrading work? If someone starts with ACF and your plugin, then upgrades to ACF Pro, will their date/time custom field disappear? I understand the data will be maintained but wondering if the field will still be visible in WP admin.

Updating to ACF PRO should work fine, ACF PRO has a compatibility add-on for this plugin, but test it on a non production environment first.
