Hello,

Yes, as Chetan suggested simply update the clients via Auto-Upgrade Feature.

 

Migrating from Symantec Endpoint Protection v.11.x clients to Install Symantec Endpoint Protection v.12.1.RU1 could migrate flawlessly without any issues.

Yes, you migration should be in the manner below:

SEPM 11.x --->> SEPM 12.1 RU1 ----->> SEPM 12.1 RU1 MP1

It is always recommended to perform a Disaster Recovery for SEPM 11.x before Migrating to SEP 12.1 as a Backup step.
