Hello,

To resolve this issue one must go to the myautosupport site, enter their serial number and click Upgrade Advisor from the column. Hot linking to the location will not work since a session variable is not available at the time.

that is how we found the issue. entered the serial number then selected upgrade advisor, to find out we cannot get one, since the OS was mainN.

please try withthe serial number i have given to see if it does the same for you.
