I understood that I can upgrade to IPS-engine-E4-req-7.0-2.pkg but when I try this from the asdm or from the cli, here is the output from the cli:
IPS-1(config)# upgrade ftp://N****@***.**.**.**//IPSengine-E4-req-7.0-2.pkg
Password: ********
The filename IPSengine-E4-req-7.0-2.pkg is not a valid upgrade file type.
Continue with upgrade? []: no
IPS-1(config)# upgrade ftp://N****@***.**.**.**//IPSengine-E4-req-6.2-2.pkg
Password: ********
The filename IPSengine-E4-req-6.2-2.pkg is not a valid upgrade file type.
Continue with upgrade? []: no
IPS-1(config)# end
do I want to just go ahead with the upgrade? even though it is telling me its not a valid upgrade type?
thanks for any help...

You can only upgrade using the IPS-engine-E4-req-7.0-2.pkg file if you are already running the latest version on that major version: 7.02(E3).
So since you are running version 6.2.2(E3) at the moment, I would suggest that you upgrade the module to the latest E4 directly using this upgrade file:
IPS-K9-7.0-4-E4.pkg
Here is the readme file for 7.0.4(E4):

Hope that helps.
