Software Upgrade 333
If you decide not to install the R4.2 license key, you can click the Reboot
button and select a different release.
Upgrading From R4.1.15 and Later Versions
If you are running R4.1.15 or a later release of R4.1, you can enter the
R4.2 license key and then upgrade. When you enter the license key, the
NBX system software accepts the license key as valid for an unknown
feature. When you upgrade and reboot to R4.2, the license for R4.2 takes
effect.
Upgrading From Release 4.2
In the future, if you are running R4.2 and you upgrade to a new NBX

reboot, the upgrade is completed.
If you have not installed the correct license prior to the reboot phase of
the upgrade, the NBX system provides a warning message and guidance
on the appropriate action for you to take.
