Upgrading Web Protection Solutions


	Important 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. Contact your Forcepoint account representative to learn about special promotions for dual-mode deployments planning an upgrade to v8.3 or higher.


	Important V Series appliance users: Some older V10000 and V5000 appliances are not supported with version 8.0.0 and higher. See V Series appliances supported with version 8.0 and higher.
