Hello,

I have checked the last version of 5585-x, seems last version is 9.12.4 and not the 9.14 you have mentioned

ASA 9.12(x) was the final version for the ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, 5585-X, and ASASM.

as per the document you can only go upto 9.12.X (Looks this bit confusing here, need to verify this)

Hi Balaji,

Mistakenly i have written 9.14(2) instead of 9.12(4) only. My concern regarding the Asdm support to manage the device after upgradation. Currently i have installed 7.12(1) version of asdm but as per cisco article it requires 7.13(1.101). Would my device ASA 5585-SSP-20 suppports Asdm version 7.13(1.101). Attaching the cisco compatiblity article below.

Thank you balaji .

Yes i saw this it shows asdm 7.13(1.101) supports my device ASA5585-SSP-20. But there's another article which says ASA 5585-SSP-20 supports asdm image max 7.12(x).. and to manage 9.12(x) version requires 7.13(1.101) asdm version

Attaching image. Please let me know where im lagging.
