Steve: We have boards that go back to version 8 (maybe some earlier). The 3 version limit is for maintenance support of the software and has nothing to do with converting older versions to newer. Uprev should continue to bring older versions into the latest version. The only proviso is that we have to use UNIX to uprev some of the earlier boards as the PC uprev will only work back to 13 or so. -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc.

That's why I was starting this effort before Rev 16. is anyone clear on this? Is there a 3 year support rule?

I do understand that the rules have changed from 13.6 to 14.x to 15.x and the way we decided handle that is to just up-rev everything and as we respin our designs we will update the rules. Is this a preferred process?
