and save the policy rule or delete the policy rule. Try to upgrade
your device to version 6.0.x. See the list of Prisma SD-WAN
deprecated applications. Unsupported applications configured
in a QoS set using a default QoS policy template are exempt from
this rule. If you have created a QoS policy set using the default
template (Create From Template option) without
any modifications and it has legacy or unsupported applications,
you can still upgrade your device to 6.0.1 or later without removing
these applications from the policy rules. | PANW-only applications will not be supported
once you downgrade to a version lower than 6.0.x. Before
downgrading to a device version lower than 6.0.x, unbind PANW applications
from policy rules. If you do not unbind PANW applications, you will
see the following error. 
After downgrading
to a software version lower than 6.0.x, you can use the legacy applications
which are not supported in versions 6.0.x. |
