6.1 support will end on Feb 2019 so, following our policy, direct upgrades are not allowed from that version to the new releases after that date. Direct upgrades from 6.2 and higher will be allowed. Please, take into account that we can always upgrade from old versions to the latest one in two or three steps.

Steps to validate it:

1. Startup 6130
2. Stop it
3. Run the upgrade to master

Results before the changes:

You can execute the upgrade process

Results after the changes:

An error which avoids the execution of the upgrade is shown:
