Hi @Celine,

What do you exactly mean with "the commserve and the SQL Server and the Media Agents are in version 12.”? Are you referring to Windows Server 2012 (R2)? If this is the case than you will first have to upgrade your operating systems before you can upgrade to the latest LTS. As of FR26 this OS version is not supported anymore see: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/1479_announcements.html

In case you are running it virtually than I would strongly consider building an fresh foundation based on a supported OS version and perform a CommServe upgrade with new hardware see: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/2224_commserve_upgrade_with_hardware_refresh_overview.html
