V Series dual-mode appliance users:
Dual-mode appliances are not supported with version 8.3.0 and higher. Either Forcepoint Email Security or the web protection solution must be migrated to a new appliance.
To ease the migration effort, special tools have been developed, and a special procedure is recommended. For details, see Upgrading V Series Dual-Mode Appliances to Version 8.4. Contact your Forcepoint account representative to learn about special promotions for dual-mode deployments planning an upgrade to v8.3 or higher.
