### Note:

- 22.8R2 is a SecureBoot enabled ICS version. Once migrated, the VM and Hardware appliances cannot be rolled back to non-SecureBoot ICS versions (22.7x).
- This appliance will also lose dual-personality functionality and cannot be re-purposed for IPS.
- Upgrade to ICS version 22.8R2.2 is supported with both Hardware and virtual platforms.
  - The Factory Reset version for Hardware will change to 22.8R2.2 post upgrading to 22.8R2.2.
- Do not initiate upgrade process through external interface of the appliance. Administrative access on external interface has been removed on Ivanti Connect Secure.
- Refer the instructions and notes in the [How to Upgrade](https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/How-to-The-Complete-Upgrade-Guide)? article before upgrading your ICS.
