I think he means can you migrate 9.5.2 on one server to 10.1.1 on another. The answer is yes. You can migrate to 10.1.1 from any version. You only have to watch out for anything lower than 9.4 as the unicode issue comes in to play. I hope this is what you were looking for. You really need to go through how to ask for assistance sticky. As an admin this question was very close to being deleted,

I know that English isn't your first language, but an expression like "V2 to V2" doesn't mean anything comprehensible in any language. If you're going to ask for help, please at least ensure that you think it through and ask yourself "what am I actually saying here?"

As Jim has indicated, of course you can migrate from a lower version to a higher version, just NOT in the way IBM suggests which is "Go ahead and install the new version, it's only an upgrade". You need to formulate a plan to check all of the following:
(a) That the rules return the same results;
(b) That TIs return the same results;
(c) That the client software works properly with the standard client environment, be that Citrix or a Windows desktop.

Think that you don't need to worry about these things? To give but one example think about what happened with TI string handling between version 8.2.x and 9.0. In 8.2.12 when you had a string which was too long the TI would just ignore the additional string length. In 9.0 it would kill the process stone dead. The software might have evolved since then but the odds are that there is still the occasional landmine of that type to watch out for.

Also since you are moving from one operating system to another (or so it seems) then you should check that the account that you'll be running it on in Windows Server 2008 has the same access and permissions (eg to network shares) as the Windows Server 2003 instance had. You may also need to set up ODBC definitions in the new server environment and possibly change the data source definitions in your TIs, depending on what the source is and which drives are mapped to where.
