Upgrade from 6.2 to 7.1

Hi,

I have an upgrade schedule for this weekend from Horizon 6.2 to 7. I was curious if it's ok to go straight from 6.2 to 7.1 while skipping 7.0. If it is, are there any caveats that are not listed in the patch notes I should worry about?

Thank you!

Hi,

Generally, you should not have any issues, version 6.2 is stable and is up to date with the all the certificate changes: TLS 1.2, Disabling SSLv3, Key size and so on.  However, it is highly recommended to read the release notes and upgrade guide.
