Support Overview
Support coverage provided for VMware vCloud Air Network Products is listed in this Guide for each
product. Product Support renewal is automated without any required action by Service Providers or
Aggregators. Product Support is automatically extended for any Service Provider with an effective contract that is
not delinquent in reporting or payment as of the contract anniversary date. All support is governed by the
VMware Support Policies set forth on https://www.vmware.com/support/policies/policy_index.html.
Product Lifecycle
VMware manages product availability in accordance with its Lifecycle Policies described at
https://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle.html (the "Lifecycle Policies"). Unless otherwise indicated in
this Guide, the vCloud Air Network Program products and services will follow VMware's general Lifecycle
Policies. For the vCloud Air Network Program, a product or service is considered on "Special Terms" when it has
reached the End of Availability under the Lifecycle Policies. While a product or service is on Special Terms,
Service Providers using the product or service prior to the End of Availability may continue to use (and report
usage of) the product or service and request additional licenses, but usage by new Service Providers is not
allowed. When a product or service has reached either the End of Support Life or the End of Technical
Guidance, then all Service Providers must stop using the applicable product or service. For a complete list of the
lifecycles for VMware products and services, please refer to: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/support/Product-
Lifecycle-Matrix.pdf.
