Q: What is changing in terms of OPNET solutions being available through Cisco?
A: Cisco and OPNET have mutually decided to end-of-life the Cisco-branded OPNET OEM products and move to Cisco’s direct resell of the equivalent OPNET-branded products. This will enable our mutual customers to continue realizing the benefits of the OPNET solutions, for example as part of Cisco’s strategic PACE and NAPA solutions, while simplifying the way the two companies work together.

OPNET and Cisco will continue to collaborate as partners. OPNET has leading products that fit into the NAPA and PACE solutions and solve real problems for Cisco’s customers. Additionally, OPNET will continue to benefit from Cisco’s input to our product strategies, and will continue collaborating with Cisco product organizations to meet customer requirements.

Q. Will OPNET offer a program for current users of the Cisco-branded solutions?
A: Yes, upon request OPNET will transition current licenses of the Cisco OEM solutions to licenses for the equivalent OPNET solution(s) at no charge. Additionally, users who convert their licenses and are also covered by Cisco SASU will be migrated to OPNET direct maintenance coverage for the remaining term of their current SASU coverage at no additional charge (on the condition that the remaining SASU coverage is not cancelled).

Q. If I am not currently covered by Cisco SASU, can I obtain OPNET direct maintenance?
A: After transitioning your licenses from the Cisco OEM solutions to the equivalent OPNET products you will be eligible to purchase OPNET maintenance for those products.

Q. How can I obtain more information about the OPNET transition program?
A: OPNET will be contacting licensed users of the Cisco OEM solutions within the next few weeks to provide details about the program for converting to OPNET-branded solutions. If you have questions, would like to contact your OPNET Account Manager, or would like to request to participate in the conversion program, please contact OPNET at cisco_solutions@opnet.com.
