    We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of ClearPass 6.7.0!  In addition to bug fixes, this release also includes many new features that our Engineering and QA team have worked tirelessly to include.  A sample of the new and changed capabilities are:

      • Decoupling licenses from hardware for better granularity
      • Concurrent license count vs. 7-day rolling averages for AAA
      • Guest functionality bundled as part of new Access licenses
      • Onboard license is now per-user
    • Phase 2 of IPv6 support
    • Opt-in option for signature downloads
    • Insight custom report templates and alerting enhancements
    • UI for managing ClearPass Extensions
    • sFlow profiling collector
    • UI for Downloadable Roles with ArubaOS-Switch
    • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS support for Onboard and OnGuard
    • Windows Server 2016 support for OnGuard
    • Automatic policy conversion to OnGuard Plugin v2.0 policies
    • Guest pages and forms translated completely for all supported languages and 3 new ones

    A ClearPass 6.7 Upgrade Overview document has been posted in Aruba Support Center to help users during the upgrade process.  This guide helps with many of the potential upgrade paths customers may experience.

     

    As always, please take note of the ‘Changes of Behaviors’ section of the release notes (attached).

     

    The update images have been posted to the support site (Aruba Support site) and the software updates portal.  MNP postings will occur shortly.

     

    A big thanks and congratulations to the ClearPass Engineering and QA teams for reaching this milestone & to the TechPubs team for their work on the Release Notes and manuals!

     

    Best regards,

    The ClearPass Team

    Hi,

    Can you confirm if a legacy CP-VA-5K automatically creates both the platform license and a 5000 access license during migration?

    Are existing legacy guest licenses also added to the access license numbers?

    Can legacy (onboard/onguard) licenses be installed on a new 6.7 installation or do they need to be manually converted by HPE support?

    During the upgrade, the system will automatically create a platform activation key (PAK) for the virtual appliance.

     

    It will also install temporary 6 month licenses for all features. You can convert your legacy 5K licenses (as well as Guest, Onboard and OnGuard licenses) to their new licenses on My Networking Portal.

    In one of the webinars regarding ClearPass 6.7 the speaker mentioned sizing tools that was planned to be released.

    Where can that type of tools be found?
