 Updating the Firepower Management Center to Version 6.1 may delete or disable Classic licenses for managed NGIPSv, ASA 

FirePOWER, 7000 Series, and 8000 Series devices. Before you begin the update, contact Support for a script you can run to prevent this issue. 
If you do not run the script, after the update, use the Classic licenses page (System > Licenses > Classic Licenses) to check and reinstall any deleted 
licenses. Use the Device Management page (Devices > Device Management) to edit Classic managed devices and reenable the appropriate licenses.

Use the procedure in this section to update your Firepower Management Centers and Firepower Management Centers Virtual. For the Version 6.1.0 
update, Firepower Management Centers reboot.

 Do not reboot or shut down your appliance during the update until you see the login prompt. The system may appear inactive during the 

pre-checks; this is expected behavior and does not require you to reboot or shut down your appliance.
