Will it be possible in the the future to upgrade the software on a BE3600 Appliance currently running backupexec 2012 R2 and run Backup Exec 2014?
Thanks

Just to confirm that is correct. You will be able to upgrade your Backup Exec 3600 Appliance from Backup Exec 2012 to Backup Exec 2014. The appliance and OS will remain the same. Look for an announcement coming soon for this updated release for the BE3600 appliance.

I've got a Version Upgrade Notification for the 3600 appliance to Backup Exec 2014, download the .zip file of the ISO and get the license file. Where can I find information about the upgrade process for the 3600 appliance ?
Thanks in advance

OK, I found the solution. It was a few links down. . .

Please note that the link you supplied is how to update the BE 3600 Appliance to the latest version of Backup Exec 2012.
I believe the notification you received on upgrade is for software only and not the appliance upgrade to Backup Exec 2014. You shoulld not proceed in upgrading your BE 3600 Appliance from BE2012 to BE2014 yet.
This release is scheduled for September, please reference this link:
