What’s Changed with our Licensing? Specific MACH 5 Edition License Available – Lower Price, Fewer Features – Keeps Differentiators (SSL, Video …) – Specifically no filtering = No Direct to Net Proxy Edition Keeps All Features – Including MACH 5 / ADN functionality User Count Limits Introduced – Aligns HW Capabilities with SW for Sizing – Allow us to address “in-between” branch sizes

New Appliances Silver Bezels
What Do Silver Bezels Mean to Me? Legacy “Blue Boxes” are NOT EOL! – EOS 11/06/2007, no EOL before 2009 More Options but only 10 HW Configs Sizing in Matches HW Capabilities A New Product Look / Feel
Sizing Guide License Limits = Recommended Total Desktops No Limits on 8100 or -25 Appliances TCP connections less relevant for our sizing – 10 TCP per 1 IP is a good ballpark
What is the Upgrade Path? For Silver Bezels to Other Silver Bezels – License Upgrade only for 510 – No Touch – HW & License 810, 8100 – Can upgrade MACH 5 to Proxy – Proxy to MACH 5 downgrades not reimbursed From Blue Boxes to Silver Boxes – Upgrade is to Proxy Edition – same feature set – User License limits will apply! • Upgrade to “ 25” series has no user limits Blue Boxes to 5. 2 – Get Proxy Edition, no user limits apply
