Quick JIRA upgrade : 6.0.1 to 6.4

Question

Hi,

I want to upgrade old JIRA instance 6.0.1 to 6.4.

Please let me know what is the fastest way to do this because my current approach would be to take every little release 6.0.2, 6.0.3, ...,6.4.13, 6.4.14 and install them one by one.

Could I skip some versions and go ahead quicker ?

Thank you for any help.

Regards,
Rafal

It was a version that supported an add-on that was causing problems if we tried to go straight to 6.4

Even with a 3-year old JIRA server, I still think you are likely to be able to go from 6.0 to 6.4 in one step.  I'd just allow time to test and step through 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 as you go, in case you do have problems.

I'm going to be bringing 6.08 to 6.4 in one step very soon.  I tested this on another server and had no problems.

Thank you Nic.

Unfortunately, my JIRA server is not plain, it has been used for 3 years without upgrade by different people and groups. Do you know why 6.2 is so special I would need to upgrade to this version first ?
