1. INSTALL NOTES
1.1 Entering New Activation Codes
If upgrading from 5.0.x or below, new activation codes must be
entered. GB-OS version 5.1.3 is available at no charge to
customers with a GTA support contract or annual maintenance
agreement. Other users should contact their local GTA channel
partner or email sales@gta.com for information and pricing of

1.2 Upgrade Notes
1.2.1 Error Messages Upon Initial Reboot
Upon rebooting after successful installation, the GTA
Firewall UTM Appliance may display errors when accessed
using the Web interface. This is expected, these errors are
generated because the browser's cache is trying to access
files and locations that no longer apply. Click OK to any
displayed errors and refresh the browser window to access
GB-OS 5.1.3. If the error messages persist, clear your
browser's cache.
1.3 SSL Certificate Replacement
GB-OS version 5.1.3 will install a new default security/SSL
certificate. Some browsers, including Netscape and Mozilla,
will not recognize the new certificate if the original has
never been replaced. If you are unable to log on to the
firewall after upgrading, delete the browser's cached security
certificate, then close and restart your browser before
reattempting remote access to your firewall.
