    You will need to ensure to run the upgrader after going to 11.0.1 and verify all is working as expected.  

    SQL will have to be moved to a supported version prior to going to 12 so that 12 can connect. Currently EV 10,11,12 all support up to SQL 2012.  EV 12 support going to SQL 2016.

You need to go to 11 first, as you need to perform some database upgrades as far as I know.

The server migration wizard only allows migrating from 11 to 12.0, not 12.1

    Thank you GertjanA

    So should go to 11 first or there is other option to upgrade direct to 12.1 without the migration wizard?

      Hi, You will need to upgrade to 11.0.1 first and run the EVDatabaseUpgrader to upgrade the DB's.  Once on 11.0.1 you can use the SSMW to go to 12.0 on a 2012 server.  At that point you can upgrade to 12.1 on that server and be at the latest version.

        plaudone1 you mean I have to go to 11.0.1 first and no way to move direct to 12.1 even without using SSMW
