As announced on December 11, 2023, VMware reached a new milestone in its journey over the last two years to streamline and simplify its portfolio and transition from perpetual licensing to a subscription model. We have simplified the portfolio to a few offers focused on our best technology, VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation, as well as optional advanced add-on offers.
The following products are at End of Availability (EOA). All licensing options including Perpetual, Support & Subscription (SnS), SaaS/hosted and subscription, as well as all editions, suites and pricing metrics of each product, unless otherwise noted, are included in this announcement. These products are no longer available for purchase. In the future, at the time of renewal, customers will be offered the best subscription products to fit their needs.
