Is WCS still in Life or service ?

[Lin Ma]

Is WCS still in Life or service ?  We informed by sales that WCS was replaced by NCS, but i could not find purchased items in EOL announcement:

WCS-STANDARD-K9

CON-CSSPU-WCSSTDK9

WCS-APBASE-100

CON-CSSPU-WCSAB1C

Is anyone know whether the above items still in service or should be upgraded now?

Thanks for the reply, but the announcement was not include WCS-APBASE-100.   Or how can I understand it ?

HI Lin,

as Leo menstioned.

WCS is EOL/EOS and check link properly.

U should upgrade to NCS/PI

Regards

Yes,i also supposed WCS should be EOL but the announcement didn't list mentioned part No. and i need a prove to explain to the company for replacement.

you can share the official Cisco link as reference for  End Of Life of WCS and share the PI datasheet for the features and support as cisco has made it clear for EOL for WCS products

Hello,

The Malin is right, the link with EoL provided by Leo is talking only about Legacy WCS licenses, before 5.2 WCS version. This is a little bit confusing.

[Leo Laohoo]

The announcement is for the entire WCS range. 

[Lin Ma]

Thanks, may I know which statement clarify it is for all WCS? Because I need to report to management for replacement.

[Leo Laohoo]

Thanks, may I know which statement clarify it is for all WCS? 

All WCS.

[Leo Laohoo]

Hardware and appliance version. 

[Lin Ma]

Thank you but I'm still confuse on that.

WCS was replaced by NCS.

NCS has been replaced by Cisco Prime Infrastructure.

Hi everyone, I have the same question, the EoL announcement is only about the location license not about all the products, in fact you can configure and order any option of WCS-STANDARD-K9 and WCS-ENT-PLUS-K9 (I configured both options a few minutes ago) without warnings.  I think this is not enough clear yet.
