Upgrade ESAv/SMAv - recommanded version

[jds5]

Hello,

We want to update our ESAv & SMAv. We want to have a unified and supported version for these two devices.
We would like to know which LTS (long term support) version would be recommended to perform this upgrade.
We are in version 14.2.2-004 on the ESA and 14.2.0-224 on the SMA.

Best Regards,

There is no long-term support. Most of the time, we see the latest patches and upgrade versions due to security reasons. Upgrade/monitor/maintain is a life cycle.

14. X is still a stable version per cisco, but the latest version is 15. X  available. So you need to upgrade SMA first, and then ESA (if you're looking to go that route of upgrade to 15.X)
