  • It is highly recommended that you update your product from any version within its support period. Check NAKIVO Backup & Replication Support Lifecycle Policy for more details.

  • No new job runs can be started during the update.

  • Updating to a major (e.g. 10.8 to 11.0), minor (e.g. 10.0 to 10.5), or sub-minor version (e.g. 10.0.0 to 10.0.1) will not reset the current license. Check NAKIVO Licensing Policy for more details about product licensing.
