 When you upgrade a Firebox X from WFS to Fireware, your current Gateway AntiVirus for E-
mail and SpamScreen subscriptions stop. This is because these subscriptions only apply to a
Firebox X running WFS.

can purchase the new Gateway AntiVirus/IPS and spamBlocker service subscriptions at a
reduced cost. Contact your reseller for more information.

VPN with SSL users can choose to download the v10.2.7 client from the Firebox or download the v10.2.7
client from the WatchGuard web site if the remote users do not have access to the Firebox on port 4100.
When a SSL client computer running an earlier version of the client software connects to a Firebox running
v10.2.7, the user sees a prompt to upgrade the SSL client version to 1.13. Select
Yes to upgrade the
Mobile VPN client version to v10.2.6. Mobile VPN with SSL continues to operate if the user chooses not
to upgrade, however, the user does not receive the fixes available in the v10.2.7 Mobile VPN with SSL
