Getting ready for 24.7?

[Greg_E]

When getting ready for the 24.7 major update, is there a version that we must be upgraded to in order for a smooth path to 24.7?

I'm on 24.1.8 and see that .9 is now out, should I go ahead and do the .9 upgrade or doesn't it really matter when considering going to 24.7?

My logic comes from Windows Server inplace upgrades... Server 2008r2 had to go to 2012(r2) before getting to 2016 or 2019, and I think had to be 2019 before 2022. And yes, I've done a lot of inplace upgrades and no problems, but I did do fresh installs when moving physical to virtual and just migrated the functions between the old and new machines. Call me an idiot if you like, but inplace worked fine for me.

That said, not sure if I'll go 24.7 or get my business system built, I should probably get the business system running instead of chasing new shiny things.

The upgrade path will only be pushed as a hotfix for the last 24.1.x version. You an stay on any other 24.1.x as long as you want but if you want to move forward to 24.7 that final 24.1.x is needed to unlock the upgrade (and new signature fingerprint).

Thanks, I will probably update to .9 in a couple days just to make sure.
