So going from 5.1.3 to 6.1.2, I'm reading that I can do from 5.1.3 to 6.1.1b, then patch to 6.1.2. Is this correct?
Also, can I use the files downloaded from the site to do the upgrade or do I need the media Cisco provides with the product update tool. I've already verified the server is compatible with 6.1, I just need to make sure I'm getting the right files and that I have the right steps.
Thanks

Yea, that's what I thought. So I need the actual DVD they send with the upgrade tool. I had read this document but someone told me I could just download the files from Cisco, burn the image to DVD, then do the upgrade when I had the upgraded licensing.
