Updates to VMware Licensing and Partner Programs

The recent acquisition of VMware by Broadcom continues to shape changes in the company's licensing and partner programs. Let's delve into the latest developments and how they impact customers and partners.

End of perpetual licensing for most VMware products

The end of perpetual licensing for most VMware products remains confirmed. This means the ongoing transition to a subscription-based model is something customers will need to factor into their budgeting and cost analysis.

Free ESXi Availability Update

While the previously offered free vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) solution has reached its End of General Availability (EOGA), it's crucial to stay updated on any potential future developments in this area. We encourage you to monitor official Broadcom and VMware channels for the latest information.
