RE: Client SDK Compatibility
As I pointed out, you should be able to do the upgrade in stages. You can set up a test box, install 11.5 and then connect your current application to the engine. You can then run through any testing (regression testing) to make sure your application works. You can then upgrade the CSDK and try that. If you can get the release notes for the version changes between your version and 3.5, you can see if there are any API changes. If there are none in the release notes, then the odds are you should be ok.
