NOTE: END OF LIFE COMING AUGUST 2025

We regret to inform you that Broadcom has unilaterally made the decision to initiate the end-of-life process for the VMware IT Academy and Academic Software Licensing programs effective August 15, 2024. As a result, customers will no longer be able to purchase new subscriptions in the VMware IT Academy store after 5:00pm E.T. on August 15, 2024. We understand that the IT Academy has been a reliable resource for many years, and we are disappointed to be delivering this message.

ACTIONS REQUIRED

If your current subscription has already expired or is due to expire before August 31, 2025, and you would like to extend your access until August 2025, we urge your institution to purchase a new subscription prior to 5:00pm E.T. on August 15, 2024.
Institution administrators must allocate subscription seats to students and instructors before 00:00am E.T. on August 31, 2024.
Institution administrators, instructors, and students must request all outstanding/unused software license keys (which are included in subscriptions purchased up to August 15) before 00:00am E.T. on August 31, 2024.

Instructors must allocate all outstanding/unused Pearson certification vouchers (which are included in subscriptions purchased up to August 15) before 00:00am E.T. on September 30, 2024.
We will continue to provide the services that you have already purchased. Customers with an active subscription will continue to have access to VMware IT Academy learning materials and resources through D2L Brightspace until their subscription expires (365 days after the subscription purchase date). Software license keys and Pearson certification vouchers will expire on the dates documented in the emails students and instructors received when they were allocated to them. The processes and support around these services will remain in place for the duration of your subscription. 

If you require additional software license keys after August 31, 2024, or will not be able to redeem your subscription seats, allocate software license keys, or allocate Pearson certification vouchers prior to the cut-off dates indicated above, please contact sharelle.patterson@broadcom.com for additional assistance. 

We appreciate your understanding through this change and thank you for being a valued part of the IT Academy community.

Sincerely, 
The VMware IT Academy Team

UNTIL AUGUST 2025
