WLC, WCS. Location Appliance upgrade order

[c.fuller]

Folks -

I am about to upgrade my system from 4.1 code to 4.2 code. I am wondering if it's possible to have the WCS and 2700 Location Appliance upgraded to 4.2 d-cubed revs first while still running Concannon WLC code 4.1.185? I am hoping to be able to upgrade WCS/2700 several days before doing all of my controllers.

So in summary, will the following combo work? WCS-4.2.97, 2700-3.1.38.0, WLCs-4.1.185.

The process did work. Thanks for the confirmation. Entire system is now running 4.2 D-Cubed code set.
