As no new contract for licenses and support services has<br>been executed between the parties, such Support Services are no longer available and the related perpetual Software<br>licenses deployed in your environment are running unsupported.<br>Therefore, VMware immediately demands that all use of Support Services associated with VMware Software, including<br>Maintenance Releases\/Updates, Minor Releases, Major Releases\/Upgrades extensions, enhancements, patches, bug fixes<br>or security patches (with the exception of zero-day security patches for vSphere 7.x and 8.x, CVSS score greater than or<br>equal to 9.0, so long as those are generally provided by VMware at no cost) be ceased. Any such use past the Expiration<br>Date constitutes a material breach of your agreements with VMware and an infringement of VMware\u2019s intellectual<br>property rights, potentially resulting in claims for enhanced damages and attorneys\u2019 fees.<br>Additionally, as a reminder, please ensure that you comply with any post-expiration reporting requirements under the<br>relevant agreements you have with us. Failure to comply with such requirements may result in a breach of the agreement<br>by Customer and VMware exercising its right to audit Customer.<br>If you have questions or concerns, please contact your Broadcom\/VMware Account Director.<br>This communication shall not prejudice or waive any rights or remedies that VMware may have as respects the subject<br>matter set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8811,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8810\/revisions\/8811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
