Important

• Upgrading from NGX R65.4 to R75 or higher is not supported.

• To upgrade Check Point Suite Products lower than NGX R65 to R75, you must

first upgrade to NGX R65 and then to R75.

Upgrading from NGX R65

When you upgrade from NGX R65, only these plug-ins may be present: Connectra,

SmartProvisioning, VSX, and Messaging Security. The presence of any other plug-in

will cause the upgrade process to fail.

If you upgrade from NGX R65 with plug-ins to R75, and later want to uninstall R75

(rollback to NGX R65), follow the instructions in sk37252

(http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/solutions?id=sk37252).
