Goto manage then network objects. Select your firewall object. Select edit.
You will find a drop down box which has various versions available.

I am running stonebeat as well. I did not upgrade stonebeat at this time. (I
didn't want to have to many unknowns) I applied Checkpoint v4.1 service pack
1 on both my managment station and one of my firewalls. My OS on both were
already on the latest patches of Solaris. Currently I am managing both v4.0
and v4.1 firewalls.
I plan to apply service pack 2 when all is said and done...however I am
waiting to see how Lance's issues get settled first.
