End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Regional uplift pricing for XDR Essentials, Advantage, and Premier PIDs & XDR Add ons

EOL15661 - Amended

Cisco announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the Cisco Regional uplift pricing for XDR Essentials, Advantage, and Premier PIDs & XDR Add ons. The last day to order the affected product(s) is August 4, 2025. The last day to renew or add to an existing subscription is August 4, 2025. Customers with active service contracts and subscriptions (as applicable) will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the EoL bulletin. Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the affected product(s). Table 2 lists the product part numbers affected by this announcement. For customers with active and paid service and support contracts and subscriptions (as applicable), support will be available under the terms and conditions of customers' service contract and subscription.

To improve the ordering process for XDR, we are replacing the current add-on PIDs with new PIDs that can be used across all Routes to Market (ALC, Enterprise Agreements, and Suites). Cisco will announce the end-of-sale for the existing (legacy) al-la-carte add-on PIDs as we move forward with this replacement. Additionally, we are simplifying the ordering for XDR Essentials, Advantage, and Premier for EMEA and APJC deployments with a single global PID. Customers can now order these tiers through one PID by selecting their region of deployment directly in Security Cloud Control. Please see replacement PID options in the table below for additional information. There are no changes to the underlying product nor to customers’ ability to retain data for extended periods of time or ingest larger amounts of data per user.

^*The Quantity Adjustment Rule determines how subscription quantities are adjusted during the Auto-Renewal process for the migration product.

The rule offers several adjustment methods:

● Same as Current: Retains the current subscription quantity.

● Multiply: Multiplies the subscription quantity by a specified value.

● Divide: Divides the subscription quantity by a specified value.

● Add: Adds a specified value to the subscription quantity.

● Exact Value: Sets a fixed, predefined quantity.

^**The Adjustment Value is the numeric input used with the Quantity Adjustment Rule to determine how subscription quantities are modified when Auto Renewal is Enabled.

^***The Auto Renewal indicator shows if Auto Renewal is enabled for the EOL product. However, Auto Renewal will only occur if the customer opted for it during the initial purchase and no manual intervention is required for provisioning. Without this prior selection, the product will not renew automatically, regardless of the Auto Renewal status.
