Hello Eike, I guess you could follow this guide kb.igel.com/igelos-10.06.100/en/creating-a-profile-23525406.html

Especially Point 3:

Go to System > Update > OS 11 Upgrade and change the following settings according to your successful upgrade test (for details, see kb.igel.com/igelos-10.06.100/en/adjusting-the-setup-23525400.html Adjusting the Setup):

• Activate Upgrade to OS 11.

• Set Upgrade to OS 11 even if PowerTerm is enabled according to your needs.

• Set Require an Enterprise Management Pack license to upgrade to OS 11 according to your needs.

• Set Timeout waiting for OS 11 license to start automatic upgrade to 10 Minutes.


Just to note, I had issues doing the OS10 to 11 upgrade when using FTP servers. I had point the upgrade media to the UMS server for it to detect it. When hosted on an FTP it only seems to check for the LX version.
