VMware tools is built into the Firepower installation and upgrade bits. You do not need to address vmware tools or upgrade that software independently.

Hi MyCousinVinny,

Thanks in advance for your answer. So, I need to upgrade entire appliance to next available version and not VMware Tools independently... If I understand well right???
