BCM50 upgrade straight from Rls1 to Rls6 3

[curlycord]

This is in the Rls6 upgrade guide:
BCM50 Rls 1.0 systems should first be upgraded to BCM Rls 3.0 before performing the 6.0 upgrade.

I do not have the software/cd from R1 to R2 (or R3) and wondering if the guide is only stating that assuming you want to keep programming.

Can you add the R3 and R6 upgrade keycodes and then just perform the upgrade using the R6 software/cd if you dont care about programming?

Thanks

I do believe that there was some sort of BIOS upgrade in the 1 to 2 upgrade so I don't think you can do it that way. I am not positive.

I've always been able to upgrade a R1 to R2 just by replacing the hard drive and reloading the lic file. Going to R5 or R6 requires the upgrade CD as it makes some changes to the bootup processes. I haven't upgraded to R6 from R1 or R2 so I can't knowledgeably answer whether or not just the upgrade keycodes are required. I have gone to R3 just by replacing the hard drive and having the upgrade keycode added to my old lic file.

I just upgraded a R1 to R6 yesterday. I also confirm that you have to upgrade to at least R2 first before going to R6.

Hello Curly

My upgrade was from 1.0 to 2.0 then straight to 6.0. I never had a 3.0 upgrade keycode!.
