Hi,

 

Firstly it's recommended to upgrade to 12.1.

 

12.0.0 will be end of support soon.

 

Then, there is a lot of changes. To see the complete changes and new features, you should have a look at the release note for ltm and asm on 11.5.0, 11.6.0, 12.0.0 and 12.1.0.

 

Those release notes arz available on askf5.f5.com

    You can do it too. 12.1.0 use 12.0.0 HF2 as a baseline. You can use the ihealth upgrade advisor freshly released to check for any possible issues and changes in behavior
