Re: Smart upgrade kit - Can I get there from here?

[Chris Whisonant <chris.whisonant@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've gone from 6.5.3 to 8.5.1 directly with no issues. The 6.0.x should
work.

Here are some tips on the config:


   1.

         The second section describes the *current *client that is being
         upgraded.
         1.

            If upgrading *from* a Notes 8.0.x Basic Client or a Notes 7.0.x
            or earlier client, you must select “Notes Basic”. If
you're upgrading
            *from* a Notes 8.0.x or later Standard Client, then select
            “Notes Standard” here.
            2.

            In the Source versions field, you can choose to only upgrade
            from “Release 7.0.3” or use a wildcard, such as “Release
7.0.*” for example.
            Using * will allow the upgrade from any version earlier
than the Destination
            version (see below).
            3.

            If the source version is 6.5.4 or earlier, choose “Yes” in the
            corresponding field.



   1.

         Then the next section is where you specify the “Destination
         version” of the client.
         1.

            This must correspond to the “Deploy version” listed in the
            Policy.
            2.

            This is the area where the effective user policy is closely tied
            to the Smart Upgrade kit database. It is possible that you
can create
            multiple kits in the Smart Upgrade kit database. For
instance, if you have a
            group of Notes 8.5.1 Standard users who need to have a
Hotfix (CCH) applied,
            then their policy and Smart Upgrade kit would both be
“Release 8.5.1 FP1”.
            (Although, at the time of this document, no FP1 has been
released for
            8.5.1).

Oh and make sure you specify people in the administration tab who should be
allowed to receive the kit. If you leave it blank everyone could potentially
upgrade at the same time...
