My team upgraded all of our managements the week after R82 was declared the recommended version. We also upgraded about ten clusters a week or two after that, including five of them in a single CDT action.

Blink failed to upgrade our managements to R82 jumbo 34. Maybe it will work to jumbo 44 for you. I would download the R82 upgrade image and jumbo 44 to keep locally on the boxes in case you need to do the upgrade and jumbo separately. Note that management upgrades to a new major version often take 2+ hours. If you have to do the two-step process, the jumbo takes much less time than the upgrade does.

Once you have the management upgraded, import the packages into the SmartConsole package repository. That upgrade method works really well for firewalls. Select one or more clusters, right-click, Actions > Version Upgrade, and point it to R82.
