# FileWave Appliances on HyperV Gen 1 - EOL

FileWave no longer produces Hyper-V Generation 1 appliance images. Starting with [FileWave Version 16.1.1](https://kb.filewave.com/books/downloads/page/filewave-version-1611-unsupported "FileWave Version 16.1.1"), newly posted Hyper-V Server, Booster, and IVS appliances use Generation 2.

No action is required for an existing Generation 1 Server, Booster, or IVS appliance. The change only affects new Hyper-V appliance setup. Mixed Generation 1 and Generation 2 FileWave appliances can coexist, and this change does not affect VMware OVA images.
