WSA Limited Deployment Upgrade

[keithyboy500]

I am loking to upgrade our WSA appliances, and there are updates available that are "General Deployment" and "Limited Deployment". I have read that the Limited Deployment is described as:

A Cisco software release that is only applicable to a small subset of users. This could be for supportability and or compatibilityreasons, based on the version of software released, or platform the software supports.

I'm just wondering if there is any risk to upgrading to a Limited Deployment as opposed to a General Deployment? Has anyone else upgraded to a Limited?

As per my understanding, Some users have a specific issue using some features under WSA deployment, those may have reported as Bug, cisco dev team fixed for them to fix the issue and released the version. (if the same bug affecting you please do upgrade the version recommended)

If you are not affected by that, I always recommend for stable upgrade.

LD are also early releases of new versions... so new features, etc. I've been in betas the past few years and almost always there are bugs in the LD/FCS releases that wont get fixed until the GD release.

So take an LD release with that in mind...

Thank you both for the responses, it's exactly what I was wondering that possibly the LD releases were more like beta releases. I'll probably go with the GD release to be safe.
