Important Update: Perpetual (eOEM)

VMware License EOL - Transition from
Perpetual Licenses to Subscription Model for
VxRail and VCF on VxRail
Dear Partners,

As you are aware, on December 11, 2023, Broadcom announced its transition from
perpetual licensing to a subscription model, together with a simplified portfolio. As a
result of this announcement and other recent developments, we are announcing
changes in our VxRail and VCF on VxRail product licensing structure.

Key Changes/Order Management

1. Effective March 22nd, VxRail and VCF on VxRail orders with VMware eOEM
perpetual licensed software can only be transacted with a maximum 3-year
VMware software and hardware support term.
2. Effective April 30, 2024, the VMware perpetual licenses available on VxRail and
VCF on VxRail (VoV) will conclude their lifecycle and will no longer be available
for purchase (“EOL Date”).
3. Orders placed post EOL Date and any order with more than a 3-year term for
software and support will not be accepted. Ensure that orders are conforming
and are placed with Dell prior to the April 30, 2024 deadline.
4. Effective March 22nd, VxRail/VoV support renewals with perpetual VMware
licenses are no longer available. VxRail/VoV VMware hardware support
renewals with vSAN embedded software cannot be accepted and need to
be requoted with hardware only.

Note:

Post EOL Date: Dell eOEM subscriptions availability on VxRail/VoV will be

communicated once available.
Continued Support: Existing VxRail systems with VMware licenses remain
unaffected, with ongoing ProSupport / ProSupport+ until their respective software
support contracts expire.
Unchanged Support Experience: This transition does not affect Dell's single
vendor first call support and deployment experience, including ProSupport and
ProDeploy services.
APEX Impact: The changes also apply to VxRail perpetual licenses sold with
APEX solutions.
VMware PAC Redemption: Advise customers to redeem their PAC codes
promptly to ensure continuity.

We understand this transition may generate questions from your customers and we
will provide further guidance to assist in your customer interactions in the
forthcoming weeks.

Thank you for your partnership and support.
