Can CM 1606 BE UPGRADED TO 2002 DIRECTLY?

[wudevr]

I have some disconnected (no internet) CM 1606 sites. 

Can I upgrade these to 2002 using the Baseline Media?

If not, what is the best way to upgrade them?

it's been a long time since i blogged about it (see here) but i think you'll have to go n+3, so probably offline upgrade from 1606 to 1706 or so and so on,

1606 has been unsupported for years now what took you so long

you will definitely have your work cut out for you here...as you'll also need to upgrade SQL server more than likely, and maybe even the os of the server

below is what an old lab of mine looks like (version 1610) after I triggered a sync, so in this case you can see that it can upgrade to 1710 (n+3)

so that was...

• 1610 (n)
• 1702
• 1706
• 1710

based on this I'll guess that you can do the following...

• 1606 (n)
• 1610
• 1702
• 1706 (n+3)
• 1710

which would mean that you could theoretically upgrade from 1606 to CM2006 like so

 

1606>1706>1806>1906>2006
