Hi,
Our client is running version 13.2 of TMS with TMSXE and TMS Agent. They are running this on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit with SQL Server 2008 32-bit. We would ultimately like to get them upgraded to TMS 14.6 and migrate the database to an external SQL Server 2012 instance. I'm trying to find the path of least resistance for this upgrade/migration.
Would it be the following?
Or could this be done by migrating the TMS 13.2 database to the external SQL Server 2012 instance and then install TMS 14.6 clean on a new server and point to it?
Appreciate any advice and assistance.

You should migrate the database before or after you upgrade TMS, it's the same number of steps either way, so it's up to you in what order you want to do it. Regarding your comment about installing TMS on a clean server, take the below things into consideration (taken from the TMS release notes and latest install guide):
You'll need to install TMSPE 1.0 in order to migrate the TMS Agent data into TMSPE, then you can upgrade TMS and TMSPE to their latest releases. Just be sure to check all the release notes and latest install guides for any gotchas as well knowing any changes in behavior for what you're upgrading/installing (such as what's already noted above with installing newer version of TMS).
