  System Software Upgrade Paths
Cisco Prime Security Manager ASA without CX Device Support
In addition to the ASA CX support matrix shown in 
, PRSM 9.2 and higher can manage Cisco ASA-5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance 
(ASA) devices that do not include a CX module. The following table shows the supported models and 
ASA Software versions for non-CX ASA devices.
System Software Upgrade Paths
The following table shows the supported upgrade paths for System Software packages. Supported paths 
have been tested; any other combination is untested and is not supported. Thus, you might need to apply 
multiple upgrade packages to get to the current release.
Because the releases listed consist of multiple maintenance releases, which include an extra point and 
build number, keep the following in mind when evaluating an upgrade from one specific build to another:
You might be prevented from upgrading between specific builds of older releases to a specific build 
of the higher release. As a general rule, if you are running a build that was released chronologically 
after a given build of the higher release, you cannot upgrade to that build; wait for a new build. For 
example, you cannot upgrade from 9.2(1.4)-5 to 9.3(1.1)-112, although upgrade from 9.2(1) to 
9.3(1) is generally supported.
Tested upgrade paths are for the most recent build number for a given version, and sometimes the 
second most recent build. For example, upgrade from 9.1(1) to 9.1(3) is tested with build 9.1(1) 
Build 21; 9.1(2) to 9.1(3) is tested with 9.1(2) Builds 29 and 42. To ensure the best results, you 
should upgrade to the most recent build (that was released chronologically prior to the higher 
release’s build) for the release you are running before upgrading to a new version.
