Hi @quartzblu ,

SP24 clients are expected to be incompatible with the latest version. We recommend opening a Support ticket so that we can review and, if necessary, remove any deconfigured or obsolete client agent metadata from the CommServe database.

Once the unwanted entries have been cleaned up, the pre-upgrade checks should be able to complete successfully.
