Issue/Introduction

The following blog post updates and replaces the original KB article (KB 96168) published on January 15, 2024. The intent is to bring further clarity to some of the communications contained in the original article related to the End of Availability of certain VMware offerings. We are also clarifying how customers can continue to acquire solutions they are currently using if a standalone SKU for their product has reached End of Availability. We appreciate our customers and partners who shared their input on the communications to help us bring more clarity to this topic. Thank you.
