How to update Veeam Backup and Replication v12 RTM to GA version

On February 17, 2023, Veeam Backup & Replication v12 Day 0 is being released. This update is intended for existing Veeam Backup & Replication 12 RTM (build 12.0.0.1402) installations and will upgrade them to Veeam Backup & Replication V12 GA (build 12.0.0.0.1420).
