r7.1 upgrade to V13.0.3 64-bit Non-Windows server:
To upgrade from r7.1 to V13.0.3, you must upgrade the r7.1 server to r12.6 32-bit server and then,  proceed to upgrade to V14 64-bit server.
Example: r7.1 Linux 32 bit Server ---> r12.6 Linux 32bit Server ---> V14.0 Linux 64-bit Server
As there is no 64-bit support for 7.1 installation, during upgrade process you must upgrade to  32-bit installation of r12.5 and then upgrade to the 64 bit installation of V14.0
