(Note: You may also see "Smart Software Manager On-Prem" or "ASDM" – ignore these for now unless you need the management GUI.) Cisco organizes downloads by version number (e.g., 9.12.x, 9.14.x, 9.16.x, 9.18.x, 9.20.x). Do not blindly pick the latest version. Newer versions may deprecate features or require hypervisor upgrades. Do not blindly pick the latest version
