Is there an update available, or coming, to update from 17.5.9 / 17.5.10 to v18 without requiring a factory reset?

BrucekConvergent

When I try to manually upload the v18 .sig update file as found on the MySophos Portal to our SG450 (converted over to XG) running v17.5.10, it says in order to complete the update process it will set the configuration back to factory settings... am I missing something?

    That should not be the Case! 

    Did you upload and boot the firmware? 

    Could you send us a screenshot of this?

    The Configuration should be migrated.

    The screenshots tell the tale.  I did not Click OK at the end because I did not feel like setting this thing back up again...  I think it may be a bug.  The screenshots are in order; note that after the upload of the firmware, it does say it validated the firmware successfully (I didn't catch that when it popped up for a screenshot)...

    Also, I can report the issue to our TAM (we are a partner) but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something stupid before I bothered him.  If no one sees anything dumb I'll report it through the private Sophos channel(s)...

    Try to use "Upload and Boot". Will the same message appear? 

    It is an old issue, that should be fixed in V18. 

    The case is, that the Upload and later boot option is kinda broken in V17.5. 

    Upload and boot should the correct approach without this notification.

    I've never had a problem with doing the firmware update by uploading first, then choosing to boot later (we are a partner, manage a bunch of systems, never an issue)...
