Upgrade instructions

Take the following into consideration before upgrading licenses, Secure SD-WAN Engines, and clusters.

Note: Upgrading to version 7.1 is only supported from version 6.10 or higher. If you have a lower version, first upgrade to version 6.10.

Secure SD-WAN version 7.1 requires an updated license. The license upgrade can be requested at https://⁠stonesoftlicenses.forcepoint.com. Install the new license using the Management Client before upgrading the software. If communication between the SMC and the license server is enabled and the maintenance contract is valid, the license is updated automatically.
To upgrade the Secure SD-WAN Engine, use the remote upgrade feature or reboot from the installation DVD and follow the instructions. For detailed instructions, see the Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Installation Guide.
