UIpgrade path options for 5.1.x

[iptuser55]

I`ve seen the upgrade path doc showing the path for 3.x, 4.x , 5.x upgrading to 6.x. It shows you can upgrade from 5.1.x to 6.x but I`m also aware that you can not go from 5.1.3 to 6.x . We are currently running 5.12.a and have to upgrade to either 5.1.2b or 5.1.3. but my concern is if we chose 5.1.2b can we still go to 6.x ? or is it just 5.1.1.3 which can not go 6.x

Hi Wayne,

This restriction does not apply to CCM 5.1.2b (as it does to CCM 5.1.3) :)
