Upgrading from FastIron 08.0.70 and Earlier Releases

Beginning in FastIron 08.0.80, the Self-Authenticated Upgrade (SAU) licensing model was implemented on all the RUCKUS ICX platforms. When upgrading from FastIron 08.0.70 or earlier releases, existing software feature licenses on the device will be converted to SAU licenses. The original XML licenses are preserved on the system in case the switch is downgraded to an earlier version that requires them.
