NPM 12 Upgrade Path

mdhtbm Oct 4, 2016 11:08 AM

I'm currently running NPM 11.5.2, NCM 7.4.0, WPM 2.2.0, SAM 6.2.1, and NTA 4.1.2 and would like to upgrade the the latest versions of these products. Putting this configuration into the upgrade advisor, it is telling me that I need to upgrade to NPM 12.0, NTA 4.1.2 and NCM 7.5.0 before upgrading to NPM 11.5.2 NTA 4.2.1 and NCM 7.5.1. Do I really need that step or can I go directly from NPM 11.5.2 to 12.0.1, NTA 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 and NCM 7.4 to 7.5.1?

  I'm not sure either. According to this chart 6.2.x should be compatible.

You do need those intermediary steps due to database changes before going to 12.0.1 and all the other latest versions also don't forget to download the hot fix for 12.0.1.
