Upgrade to BE 15

[SEsymantec]

I attempted to upgrade from 12.5 to 15 but received an error indication that I need to install the latest updates. I ran LiveUpdate and BE 12.5 is now current but the error still comes up. Do I have to upgrade to 2010, then 2012, then 2014 before I can go to 15?

From the BE15 FP5 administrator manual (p. 107): "Upgrading to the current version of Backup Exec from a version before 2010 R3 requires a multi-step process. For example, to upgrade from Backup Exec 12.5 to Backup Exec 15, you must first upgrade to Backup Exec 2014 before you can upgrade to Backup Exec 15."

Thanks, somehow missed that in the manual.

At least I don't have upgrade to every version in between.
