Can Policy Manager Server be upgraded directly to latest version, if there is one or several major version releases in between?

Issue:

Can Policy Manager Server be upgraded directly to latest version, if there is one or several major version releases in between?  Can the Policy Manager Server be directly upgraded for example 13.x or 14.x to 16.x?

Resolution:

There is no limitations to upgrade Policy Manager from version 13.XX / 14.XX to 16.XX and it can be done directly, without needing to install the version between. 

Having said that, we do recommend that you create a full backup of Policy Manager data (h2db, preferences, and other files) before the upgrade. Consult Policy Manager Administrator’s Guide, "Backing up & restoring Policy Manager data" section for instructions on how to create a full backup.

Instructions for creating the backup can be found in the User Guide: Maintaining Policy Manager Server | Policy Manager | 16.10 | WithSecure User Guides 

As for the upgrade itself, simply run the latest Policy Manager installer on the server that has Policy Manager components installed. Policy Manager setup recommends that you upgrade the components that are installed on the computer. Continue with the default options to upgrade the installed components while keeping the existing configuration.
