We are running HiveManger Enterprise 6.8r7a. I want to update HiveManger, switches and access points to the latest version. Is there a particular order that I should the updates? I am planning this the week of 06/11/2018. Thanks William

Hello, you will want to update the HiveManager version first, then the HiveOS. You don't need to go stepwise with the updates (you would if you were using HiveManager NG, but you are on Classic). So you can go directly from 6.8r7a to 8.2r2.

There is a slight GUI difference between the 6.8 and the 8.x line, instead of the color scheme being mostly white and yellow, it will be mostly blue and white. All options and objects will be in the same place, this is a purely cosmetic change, but I wanted to make you aware so there are no surprises.

Once the HiveManager is on the latest version you will be able to use the latest HiveOS versions, which you can check here: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/question/0D50c00005jmpq9CAA/
