IMPORTANT:You cannot update the version of your GroupWise software as part of the migration to Linux. You must use the same version of GroupWise that is already in use in source post offices and domains.

If you are planning to update your GroupWise system on an operating system supported by the newer version of GroupWise, update source post offices and domains first, then migrate the updated GroupWise post offices and domains to Linux. This enables you to test your update in a known environment.

If your GroupWise system is currently on NetWare and you are updating to GroupWise 2012, you must migrate to Linux or Windows first, then update to GroupWise 2012, because GroupWise 2012 does not support NetWare.
