Program Overview
Micro Focus is announcing the obsolescence of the N-2 product structure of Network Node Manager i (NNMi) Advanced and related iSPIs.
All Network Node Manager i Advanced customers with an active support contract are eligible to migrate to NNMi Premium or Ultimate Edition. The existing license SKUs on the subscription at the time of renewal will determine which replacement product will be used going forward, NNMi Premium or NNMi Ultimate.

Micro Focus introduced a change in product structure for Network Node Manager i in December 2013 where NNMi Advanced and related iSPI license SKUs could optionally be exchanged for NNMi Premium or NNMi Ultimate license SKUs.  We are now announcing the obsolescence of NNMi Advanced & related iSPIs which will no longer be supported after August 31, 2022.  Accordingly, starting March 1, 2019 upon subscription renewal, Micro Focus will replace NNMi Advanced & related iSPI licenses with the corresponding new NNMi Premium or NNMi Ultimate licenses.  NNMi Premium and NNMi Ultimate provide equal or more functionality than NNMi Advanced and related iSPIs at no additional license or support cost as part of the exchange process.

This does not involve any form of technical migration or any changes to your implementation. You will simply need to obtain the new license key and apply it to your environment, once your subscription was updated. Different edition licenses may not be combined and higher edition licenses will override lower edition licenses. Version updates are independent of updating the edition of the software and are not required for 9.2x versions or later, though recommended to utilize the latest feature enhancements. 

With this announcement, NNMi Advanced and related iSPI customers are able to purchase additional capacity licenses between now and March 1, 2019.
