For upgrade to VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG with Application Intelligence:
Use the upgrade tools on NG with Application Intelligence CD.
Follow the instructions in the "upgrade_guide.pdf" on the CD.

For upgrade to VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG FP3:
Use the Upgrade Export and Import Utilities to upgrade your SmartCenter (Management) Server to NG FP3 on a new/separate machine, while the production SmartCenter (Management) Server machine is fully functional.

Utilities:

On Production SmartCenter Management Server machine:
1) Run Pre-Upgrade Verifier tool and fix any relevant issues
2) Use Export utility to export configuration
3) Copy configuration file to new machine

On new SmartCenter Management Server machine:
1) Install NG FP3 Software, with exact same products that were installed on original machine
2) Use Import utility to import the configuration; utility will upgrade the database automatically.
3) Use Post-Upgrade Verifier if the Pre-Upgrade Verifier recommended it.
