About This Release

This is a maintenance release for TNSR software version 20.10 with bug fixes.

Warning

For more information on changes in TNSR 20.10, including important information about upgrading from versions prior to TNSR 20.10, see TNSR 20.10 Release Notes.

Warning

TNSR Home+Lab installations cannot be updated. Reinstall with TNSR Business or install a new version of TNSR Home+Lab. See Configuration Backups for information on backing up and restoring configurations.

Note

TNSR Home+Lab users can keep running their existing version and update only the operating system components as needed.
