ASA upgrades and skipping versions

Hi,
Aside from all of the normal 8.2 to 8.3 (and above) upgrade issues/concerns that are completely documented elsewhere, I'm wondering if anyone has seen the same issues I have had upgrading ASAs from 8.2(x) to anything above 8.4(x)?
The problems below seemed to caused by skipping versions or at least I thought these particular issues were avoided when I did not skip upgrade versions
adding unidirectional nat leaving off nat route lookupadding nat (inside,any) 
Is there a way to avoid these issues when skipping upgrade versions?
Appeciate your input.
Thanks.

A boxed version will have upgrades to fix problems, but will not have upgrades to include new features that come out.  They will be introduced with the next boxed (perpetual licence) version.  In the past this has been about every 1.5 years.
What will happen to the perpetual licence in the future is anybodys guess.  Companies perfer the monthly cloud subscription as it generates a steady stream of income, at higher rates.  The enticement is you get new features as they come out.  Consumers balk at the cloud subscription as once you stop the subscription you have nothing.

  • CS4 Upgrade and Previous Versions of Photoshop

    As a long-time Photoshop user, I have upgraded my versions of Photoshop over the years and currently have the CS4 Photoshop Upgrade loaded on my computer.  I have an older computer with limited hard drive space and am running out of room.  Is it necessary to keep all the previous versions of Photoshop on my computer's hard drive in order for the already-loaded on my computer CS4 Photoshop Upgrade to run?  In other words, can I remove the earlier versions (like Photoshop 4, Photoshop 6 Upgrade, Photoshop 7 Upgrade, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade) and still have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade run ok?  I'm trying to clean up hard drive space and would like to make space by deleting the previous versions, but I don't want to mess up my CS4 Photoshop Upgrade if that program somehow ties into components from the previous upgrades.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I currently have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade version already on my computer.  In addition to that, I also have on it Photoshop 4.0, Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6.0 Upgrade version, Photoshop 7.0 Upgrade version, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade.  What I need to know is can I remove the earlier versions of Photoshop or will it negatively affect the operation of CS4 Photoshop Upgrade (since it's not the full version and only an upgrade of the upgrades installed earlier)?  (The only full version of Photoshop I have is Photoshop 4.0 -- everything after that was upgrade versions.)

  • Snowleopard upgrade and full version

    I have macbook with leopard. I want to upgrade it into snowleopard. But I found 2 types of dvd, upgrade version and full version. What is the differences and advantages between full and upgrade? If I buy the full version, could I install it in my mac(leopard)? Because I found more easily the mac box set (full version) that is cheap.
    Thanks

    The 10.6.3 white retail disk (so called "upgrade disk") sold online at Apple are full version disk of OS X Snow Leopard, however it also has a upgrade installer for OS X versions 10.4 and 10.5.
    So if you boot the Mac into 10.4/10.5 and stick the DVD in and double click the upgrader, it will replace 10.4/10.5 with 10.6.3 and leave your programs and files alone.
    If you stick the same disk in and boot the machine while holding c or option/alt key down (wired/built in keyboard) you get the opportunity to use Disk Utility (and others) and can erase the entire drive and then install OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard fresh. However this disk is sans-free iLife, but can be reinstalled via the 10.5 machine disks.
    I don't know the specifics of the full version of the Snow Leopard install disks as I never used them, or what particular advantage they have (free iLife?), but if it requires a erase and install, then that's a disadvantage obviously as you can't carry over your already installed 10.5 programs.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still

  • Upgrade and old version are both on my mac?

    So, am I supposed to have both the CS4 and Cs6 on my mac after the install?  Is that to continue to support any thing that I created in Cs4? Or did it download incorrectly? How do I fix this?

    Upgrades do not replace the version that they ipgrade.  Upgrades are independent installations such that you can retain use of both the original and the new versions.  If you prefer to get rid of the old version, it is best to do so before you install the upgrade version.  YOu do not need the original to nstall the upgrade, you only need its serial number.

  • BSI upgradation and customer version schema UTX0/UTAC

    Hi All,
    In upgrading of BSI notes 1022656 describes all steps and in 9 th step it is given as modify customer version schema UTX0/UTAC.
    What exactly to be done there.
    Please can any one answer this que?
    Regards
    Senthil

    UTX0 is tax sub-schema for US , and UTAC is tax sub-schema for US using concurrent employment (you only use this if your company is implementing concurrent emp).
    All you have to do is to go to either one of these schema (again, depending on whether you use concurr. emp or not) or equivalent custom sub-schema and change line 'UPAR1 BSI 70' to 'UPAR1 BSI 80'.

  • Just bought and installed Snow Leopard10.6.8, whats the next upgrade? and or can I jump to the top upgrade and skip one?

    whats the next upgrade? and or can I jump to the top/latest upgrade?
    I have to say the whole names of lion/leopard/mountain lion/cow... is rediculious... I don't know, which is new then the next... help 8)
    Also, can they be bought and downloaded via the net or do I have to get the physical Disc again?

    If your Mac qualifies, you can upgrade directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain LIon.
    Your Mac must be one of the following models:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    From here >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    If you have v10.6.8 installed, you should have access to the App Store when you can purchase and download Mountain Lion.
    Check your Applications folder for the App Store.
    If your Mac does not meet Mountain Lion requirements, you may be able to upgrade to v10.7 Lion.
    Read here > OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
    Lion v10.7 is no longer available from the App Store but you can purchase from Apple directly:  800-767-2775

  • Problems with iPhoto lib after mavericks upgradening iPhoto says upgrade and pref lib will be unreadable after lib upgrade.  Help-don't want to lose all prev pictures in lib.

    After upgrade, attempted to open iPhoto to upload pictures from camera.  Message says need to upgrade library and that after upgrade previous library will be unreadable.   In holding pattern for now-don't want to lose all 4K prev pictures in iphoto library.  Anyone have same or similar problem?

    gotitans, I think you have an entirely different problem than we are discussing in this thread.
    You should open your own thread, and you should describe your problems in more detail. For example, what type of Mac do you have, what operating system does it run, what version of iPhoto did you have running before the upgrade,and just what sort of upgrade did you do (hardware, operating system, iPhoto, something else)?
    My best guess from just that message is that you did a hardware upgrade, and your version of iPhoto is too old to run on the new hardware.
    ntgerh64, it would probably be good if you gave us the same details I asked of gotitans. I was assuming you were talking about upgrading OS X to Mavericks and then iPhoto to 9.5 or 9.5.1.

  • IS at work told me I need to upggrade my home Macbook Pro operating system , 10.6.8, to a new version in order to remote desktop connect to my windows 7.1 machine at work.  I want to know if I can skip prior upgrades and go to Yosemite or if I have

    Since my work machine was upgraded to a Windows 7.1 pc, I can no longer connect remotely with my Macbook Pro with 10.6.8.  I need to know the most efficient and economical way of doing this and if I can skip versions to get where I need to be.  Supposedly, I need the very latest remote desktop connection software, and it is not compatible with 10.6.8.  Help please.
    Thanks

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

    Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

    Colin,
    >But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
    Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
    >I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
    It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
    >no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
    Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
    Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
    But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
    If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

  • Someone help me I still have iPhone 3 and I can't download anything like my slotmania it let me download later version but keeps asking for me to upgrade and trying to figure out why it keeps doing that when I have already got downloaded but won't let me

    Someone please help me I have an iPhone 3GS version 4.2.1 8c148a and I downloaded slotmania this morning and it won't let me play it keeps asking if I want to upgrade and I can't upgrade because phone won't let me so I'm wanting to play my game I use to could play it and farmville but for some reason it won't let me play .... Can someone help me figure out something because I'm sure their is a way I can and husband won't upgrade me and I got free upgrade and can't even get because he's cheap it's sad Hugh

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • I did an upgrade from 4.0 to the new 6.0 about 5 months ago. After the upgrade installed it said reboot system to apply upgrade. Now it wont open and keeps telling me that the older version needs to shut down the computer and upgrade the old version.

    Look at original question. When I did the download to the new 6.0 it said everything was fine. Then when I tried to use the firefox again it said an older version needed to shut down my computer so that it could upgrade the old version. It wont let me do anything and all it says is shut down computer so old version can upgrade. It wont let me open the program or remove it or anything. PLease help me with this. I really like Firefox but this has been going on for 5 months now and I still dont get answers from you. How do I fix this???

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Upgraded to newest version of Firefox all the links were broken, it will not open in Safe Mode or anywhere else-before I uninstall it I'd like to access save my user names and and passwords from websites- can i access them without opening the browser

    i can not launch browser toget version info or anything else, when it upgraded to newest version it stopped working-i've tried launching in Safe Mode and have tried all icons

    You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
    Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
    You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
