    If you are running earlier versions of BMC ProactiveNet or BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management than the two most recent versions, you must either migrate to the latest version or perform one or more upgrades before you can directly upgrade to the latest version of Infrastructure Management. 

    Best Practice

    Instead of performing a phased upgrade that can cause considerable downtime, consider a side-by-side approach where you install a new version of the product and then failover to it at the end of the implementation process. See Benefits and risks to upgrades and migrations.
