Table of Supported Upgrade Steps for FortiOS Firmware

The following steps are not the only possible paths, but they are supported and have been optimized to achieve the current
version in the fewest steps.
Whenever upgrading firmware be sure to check the release notes for important changes, warnings and exceptions. The
release notes can be found on the support site in the same directory as the firmware. The Fortinet Support Site can be
found at:
https://support.fortinet.com/
Some older FortiGate hardware platforms do not have the resources to effectively use the most recent firmare versions and
so do not support firmware updates past a certain version. To see if your device is affected by this check the Product Life
Cycle page found at:
https://support.fortinet.com/EndUser/ProductLifeCycle.aspx
