Prisma Access and Panorama Version Compatibility

Learn about the version compatibility between Prisma™ Access (Panorama™ Managed) and Panorama.
This section provides you with the minimum and maximum versions of Panorama™ to use with Prisma™ Access, along with the end-of-service (EoS) dates for Panorama software versions with Prisma Access.

Minimum Required Panorama Software Versions

The Cloud Services plugins require the following minimum Panorama™ software versions.
Due to the fast-paced release of Prisma Access and the Cloud Services plugin, the software end-of-support (EoS) dates for Panorama appliances used to manage Prisma Access can differ from the software end-of-life (EoL) dates for PAN-OS and Panorama releases. Note that these exceptions apply only to Panorama version compatibility with Prisma Access.
For FedRAMP deployment required Panorama versions, see Panorama Managed Prisma Access FedRAMP Requirements.

End-of-Support (EoS) Dates for Panorama Software Version Compatibility with Prisma Access

When Prisma™ Access upgrades its infrastructure and dataplane after a major release, the upgrades can become incompatible with earlier Panorama™ versions. Because of the fast-paced release of Prisma Access and the Cloud Services plugin, the software compatibility end-of-support (EoS) dates for Panorama can differ from the software end-of-life dates for Panorama releases and apply to Panorama version compatibility with Prisma Access only.
If the Panorama appliance that manages Prisma Access is running a software version that is incompatible (not supported) with the upgrades, you must upgrade Panorama to a compatible version to take full advantage of the capabilities of the infrastructure and dataplane upgrades. It is our goal to make this process as seamless as possible and, for this reason, we make every effort to provide you with adequate notice of Panorama and Prisma Access version compatibility requirements.
Use the dates in the following table to learn when a Panorama software version that manages Prisma Access is no longer compatible with Prisma Access so that you can plan an upgrade to a supported version prior to the EoS date.
Due to the fast-paced release of Prisma Access and the Cloud Services plugin, the software compatibility end-of-support (EoS) dates for Panorama appliances used to manage Prisma Access can differ from the software end-of-life (EoL) dates for PAN-OS and Panorama releases. Note that these exceptions apply only to Panorama version compatibility with Prisma Access.
To find the latest EoS compatibility information for your Panorama software with Prisma Access, log in to the Panorama appliance that manages Prisma Access, select the Service Setup page (

Configuration

), and view the
Panorama Alert
information. (See Notifications and Alerts for Panorama, Cloud Services Plugin, and PAN-OS Dataplane Versions for details.)
