R71.40 - Plugin pain is back

If you have ever tried to use advanced upgrade path within  R65.X family, you might remember, that in many cases MGMT migration with export/import scripts was sometimes failing due to plug-ins mismatch between the source and target installations.

I was quite happy when Check Point introduced R7X migration tools. It seemed to cure the issue completely.

Apparently this is not true. My customer has just tried to import R71.20 MGMT DB into R71.40

Here is the output he gets:

 R71.40 migration tool was used on the source. Nevertheless there is a new plugin error, and the import fails.

Hello, Check Point, do you do QA these days?
