I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.1.0

I Want to upgrade from Windchill 11.2 to 13 is this possible without installing Windchill 13 separately?

No, the process involves installing the new version (typically on a new target system) and the upgrading which is mostly a DB conversion. Think of it like making a new body and then doing a brain transfer. Also, from that version, going directly to 13 is not possible. You will have to first upgrade to 12 then repeat the process to get to 13.

not possible , the process is to install a 13.0 , import the data/config from source and run the upgrade manager
