Can I upgrade our SH server straight to the latest from our current version of 5.1.8 running on a MAC server?

Or is there an upgrade path that I should follow?

Thank you.

We just upgraded from 5.18 to 5.2.5  
Over 1500 clients.  
Upgrade went through smoothly.

So far all seems ok.

I only have about 150 client installs but the upgrade has always gone smoothly except from one problem years ago. I don’t tend to worry about upgrading SimpleHelp which I can’t say for some other apps!
