I wanted to share this information regarding the supported upgrade path for webMethods products. Hope it would be useful for others who is not aware of this.
Note: If a product had service packs within a release, you can only upgrade the product from the latest service pack.
hi Dev, there is no direct path from 7.1 or 8.0/8.1 to 9.6 - that’s why I didn’t include it in the matrix. You can only get to 9.6 from 7.1 or 8.0/8.1 via 8.2, 9.0, or 9.5, as shown in the matrix.
Rp, you can find information about features in the release notes, and information about deprecated items in the readmes.
