You can now upgrade Panorama appliances running PAN-OS 10.2 and Panorama-managed devices running earlier releases more quickly using a simplified software upgrade process. This process reduces the number of tasks and increases the efficiency of the software install by enabling you to validate the install prior to the maintenance window. Before installing the target software version, you can view the software and applications and threats content version dependencies that must be downloaded first, which helps you avoid multiple installation attempts.

A multi-image download option is now available so you can choose to download the dependencies displayed during the validation check. The software upgrade history is also available on devices running PAN-OS 10.2.
