Re: Power 8 EOS Question

I couldn't find anything, but that would be kinda nice. :) I am teetering
on moving to the cloud. I contacted 3 companies and only one has gotten
back to me (and quickly with lots of details and very fast to answer
questions).

Hi Brad,

I have HW and SW maintenance on the same machine through to 31/12/2024.

I think the EOS date changed ?

Thanks

Don

According to this IBM document:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/services-withdrawal-declaration-plan-discontinue-lease-rental-maintenance-services-select-power-machines-some-replacements-available


My 41A will be EOS in May 31st, 2024.

My HWSA expired today (and of course I never got a renewal from IBM after
requesting one for the last couple of months and my system is complaining
about expired firmware keys).

If it is renewed, should it only be until May 31st, 2024?

I'm sure I'll find out, but I'm curious what others may have encountered.
