R81 Management Servers can manage appliance Security Gateways that run these versions *:

I think there is something that is not up-to-date in R81 documentation in term of R81 Management Servers can manage appliance Security Gateways.
I can confirm here that the R81 cannot manage the appliance running version R76SP50.
please correct the documentation. i have tried on the 44K appliances and we can not push the policies, it is incompatible.
