Product Migration Options
Customers no longer need to purchase the Cisco IP Mobility Gateway feature license to use the Cisco IOS Home Agent. There is no Cisco replacement product at this time for Cisco Mobile Client products. Customers can consider a third-party client, such as the Birdstep Intelligent Mobile IP Client (
http://www.birdstep.com) and the ipUnplugged Roaming Client (
http://www.ipunplugged.com), to provide functions similar to those of Cisco Mobile Client.
Customers can use the Cisco Technology Migration Plan (TMP) to trade in products and receive credit toward the purchase of new Cisco equipment. For more information about Cisco TMP, go to:
http://www.cisco.com/go/tradein/. The Cisco TMP application requires all users to have a Cisco.com user ID.
Customers may be able to continue to purchase the end-of-sale product through Cisco's Authorized Refurbished Equipment program. Refurbished units of the end-of-sale product are available in limited supply for sale in certain countries on a first-come, first-served basis.
