hi Michel,

target data is Jan 29th. For us in Europe this may be one more day. If you would like to start the testing sooner, we can share the pre-release image for lab testing purposes. Please see https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12697761/do-you-want-test-xr-533-pre-release-asr9000.

Regards,

Aleksandar

Hi Aleksandar

Already got access to the eft images and are already playing with it in the lab. 

Is the testing on a good path in order to release 5.3.3. as planned?

thanks,
michel

hi MIchel,

all teams are working hard on testing to ensure the release date doesn't change. So far there are no reasons for a date slip.

Regards,

Aleksandar

Looks like you are hitting the certificate issue, you will need to install the post-expiry SMU. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/technotes/MOP-CSS-to-Abraxas.html
