Hello Jason,

You won’t lose any functionality at this point. However, between security, 
reliability and efficiency, I would still install LDM 6.13.7 when it comes out. 
In 6.9.x and older versions of the LDM, I did lose some text products due to 
bugs. The 6.13 series fixes issues causing corrupt queues, memory leaks and 
more. Plus, the 6.9 version is seven years old. If you wait too long between 
upgrades, you also get behind the curve on new functionality. And if you ever 
have a problem with it, UNIDATA will tell you to install the latest version to 
correct any problems.

Obviously, you don’t need to do this tomorrow, but I would seriously think 
about upgrading sooner rather than later.

Gilbert
