Appliance Software Version Support
Netskope Appliance software releases are available every 4-months and will have Netskope support up to two previous versions. Direct software upgrades are supported as long as the “from” and “to” software releases are within two versions apart.
Netskope appliance releases are numbered in the form of X.X.X where the Xs represent the major, minor, and build release numbers, respectively. For example, appliance release 93.1.0 and older releases are deprecated when appliance release 103.0.0.338 goes live. Release numbers are not sequential like 101, 102, and 103. Instead, release numbers jump numerically, like 96.0.0, 99.0.0, and 103.0.0.338, to reflect parity with the Netskope Cloud Releases.
The following table provides the upgrade path to the latest software version.
Current version | Upgrade to version |
|---|---|
Any version before 96.0.0 | 96.0.0 |
96.0.0 | 103.0.0.338 |
99.0.0 | 103.0.0.338 |
Releases that are outside the Netskope support period:
Are not guaranteed to work with the latest cloud releases.
Are no longer tested by Netskope.
Do not receive hotfixes.
Do not receive new feature updates.
At our discretion, we may provide support for releases outside our support period. If a customer encounters an error in a version of software that is other than the latest release, Netskope may require the customer to upgrade to a specified later version to obtain a correction of the error.
