SEP MR3 to MR5

[Migration User]

Hi,

Quick question - Is it possible to upgrade SEPM from MR3 to 5?
And if it is - is it better to remove MR3 first and install MR5 or will it work fine upgrading.


Thanks,
Paul

 However it is recommended to take a backup of the database before you perform the upgrade.

You may refer to the foll doc for the same
