Hi Supercell29,

Upgrade process is very simple but first learn what new in SEP 12.1 Eg. License concept, SONAR, Download Protection etc..

I would like to suggest following plan

1) Learn what's new in SEP 12.1

2) Take a backup of existing SEPM

3) Proceed with upgrade

Step 1.

Check following article for more info.

What's new in version 12.1

Step 2.

Prior to upgrade take a backup of existing SEPM

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102333 

Make sure you have sufficient disk space.

The SEP 12.1 SEPM upgrade installer requires three times the current database size (sem5.db) if upgrading from pre-12.1 SEPM with the embedded database only.

Step 3.

Start upgrade process to learn more about upgrade go through following article
