Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the EoL bulletin.

For customers with active and paid service and support contracts, support will be available under the terms and conditions of customers' service contract.

Renewing to Collaboration Flex Plan

Cisco is committed to long-term support for our customers with on-premises calling deployments. We are also committed to supporting our customers as they move to cloud calling. Our Collaboration Flex Plan supports both deployment models. In September 2021, we announced that customers with perpetual on-premises calling deployments should renew to Collaboration Flex Plan. Some of the customer benefits of Flex Plan include: 

      Flexible payment methods – monthly, annual, and full  

      Software Support that is included - never find yourself uncovered 

      Simplified licensing structure 

      Better license entitlements to Cisco Collaboration solutions

      An easy migration to the cloud

 

The last day to renew Software Support Services (SWSS) for perpetual on-premises calling has been moved up to October 30, 2021.   Customers who need additional licensing and / or to renew software support after this date will be able to get full support for their on-premises calling deployments by renewing to Collaboration Flex Plan. 

For more information about Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0, reference the ordering guides at this link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/partners/tools/collaboration-ordering-guides.html
