FortiEMS FortiClient Fortigate upgrade order

[rdalrymple]

I have the following products

1. FortiGate - 6.0.13 (OS) - I want to reach 7.2.
2. FortiEMS - 6.4.7
3. FortiClients (end users) 6.4.7

I looked at the compatibility matrix online and I find it quite confusing. However from what I can tell it looks like I should update my fortigate to 7.2 then update fortiEMS to 7.0.9 then update all end users clients to 7.0.9 is that correct? I'm trying to avoid issues with end users.. so trying to find the proper order to upgrade. 

Please advise.
