Replacement of Forti Access point

Here's the corrected version of the sentence:

Hi there,

We want to replace the FortiAPs. Currently, my FortiGate firewall firmware is v7.2.6 build 1575 (Feature), and my FortiAPs are old on version v5.2.0 build 0262. We want to replace the FortiAPs, but the issue is I am not finding the option to replace on my current version. Please assist with how to replace the APs.

This procedure is for FortiManager. You don't need to do that if you manage your APs with Fortigate. You just need to follow the new AP register steps and assign the old AP profile to the new AP.  

The new AP will start to run with the old configuration.
