I've not seen anything from Microsoft saying that you must migrate to 3.0 before migrating to SP4.  You'll have to check with them since I could be wrong.  However, I've done 3 upgrades from 2.5 to SP3 in the past 6 months and I'm working on a 4th to SP4.  There are some hotfixes that were issued for SP3 that had jobs to run in addition to the upgrade.  The developers made a royal mess of inventory.

In general, Microsoft says you cannot skip major releases, so you can't go from 2.1 to 3.0 (skipping 2.5), or 2.5 to 4.0 (skipping 3.0), but unless there is something mentioned in the service pack documentation you should be able to migrate to the newest service pack of the next higher release.  As a customer or VAR, I would be sorely angry if Microsoft came out with a service pack that made such major changes that I had to do a double upgrade within a major release.  Due to the difference of the responses, I recommend you check with Microsoft.

You can not go to SP4 directly. MS should have a spec. somewhere which packs are milestones or what to call them.

Hi Jim,

Can you confirm you can go from 2.5 to 3.0SP4 directly (i.e. just run the
Sp4 installation etc).  I was always under the impression we had to upgrade
to 3.0SP0 first.

Just want to check as I am doing such an upgrade in the near future

Thanks
James

You can upgrade directly to 3.0 SP4 from 2.5.  Number sequence references in
3.0 must be unique.  A number sequence can only be used once.  You need to
clean up number sequence references in 2.5 before the upgrade.  It's one of
those architectural changes they don't tell you about.
