During the upgrade of a Network Charging and Control (NCC) installation to version 4.4 or higher, at some point, the Vouchers and Wallets Server (VWS) may possibly be at different software level, in this particular problem, the Primary VWS has already been upgraded to Network Charging and Control 4.4, while the secondary VWS of the same pair is still at the previous (i.e. not upgraded yet) version.
