We are purchasing a FirePower 1010 NGFW. We currently use FMC version 6.2.3. From reading the below release notes on FMC, we will need to upgrade our FMC to version 6.4.0+ in order to manage the new 1010 device. However we have four FTD ASA 5506-x devices currently being managed by our FMC. From the below release notes what I am gathering is that version 6.3.0 is the last version of FMC you can use to manage the 5506.
Does this mean we have to get Defense Orchistrator to manage the new 1010 NGFW if we want to keep our FMC to manage the 5506-x device, or we would need to upgrade our 5506-x devices to 1010's if we want to keep FMC?

An FMC 6.4 can manage devices at version 6.1 or later.
So you are fine keeping your FMC to manage both the ASA 5506's with FTD as well as new Firepower 1100 series devices with FTD.
If you want to use CDO then you will not be able to manage your 5506-X devices from it as it requires FTD 6.4 or later.

Thank you. So even though the link you provided does not state the ASA 5506-X device is compatible, as long as the software on that FTD is 6.1 or newer it's okay?
That's correct.
