VM-Series SKU End of Life question

PA_nts — Mon, 20 May 2024 07:55:38 GMT

Hi Guys

so we have a client with a number of VM-100 FWs on Azure.. we recently migrated them from perpetual licenses over to NGFW Software Credits. so at the moment they are still running as VM-100 but with the flex licenses valid till 2026

now.. according to this the VM-100 series expires end of July 2024

https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/services/support/end-of-life-announcements/end-of-life-summary#vm-series-models

so if i already migrated over to software credits, can i relax? or do we need to adjust the SKU to custom rather than fixed VM models?

thanks in adv

@PA_nts,

It's my understanding that there's nothing that you'll need to do if you've already migrated to the credit-based licensing model. The ability to purchase support on old licensing model is simply ending and you'll now be forced to make the transition to credit licensing if you haven't already.

Thanks BPry

Correct.. I double checked with Palo support also and as I have already migrated to the credit based license model.. there is no pending actions to take. so i am good for now till the renewal of the credits comes up..

cheers!
