[SOLVED] Upgrade dry-run: how to update to current 3.4 version?

I need to do an in-place upgrade of a licensed PVE production server from 3.4 to 4.1.

I've set up a test rig replicating the production setup, but I can't update the test machine to the same version of PVE as the production machine because the test machine is only on the evaluation license.

Is there anything I can do about this? Is there an ISO for the current 3.5 version I can use?
 
I worked it out by copying all the *pve*.deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives on the host, then using these to upgrade the test machine's packages.

For some reason there's a slight variation between the two though: production says it's running proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-166 while the test says it's running proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-156. I wonder how I can get the test machine to run the .166? Hm. Maybe it won't matter.

EDIT: Actually, you can't do an in-place upgrade with a test machine on an evaluation licence - it won't be able to access the pve repos. Doh!

I'll do a clean install of 4.1 instead.
