We have a trio of CP-VA-500 virtual appliances that we've gone through the migrations, license changes and so on over the years. It looks like the appliances are end of support April 2024, so while we have time, I like to lay out some of the spade work in advance so we can figure out what we need to budget for next year, etc. 

Does anyone have experience with migrating from the CP-VA appliances to the new Cx000V appliances? What was the migration of configuration like? Were you able to transfer licenses or such from the old appliances to the new? Any significant differences to watch out for?

So, they all started life as CP-VA-500's, were upgraded to C1000V, currently on 6.9.7. With renewing our Aruba support this year, our vendor let us know that these units would be going end of support (at least as CP-VA-500's, which is what is reflected on our support contract) May 1, 2024. I suppose that would be a first question is, do we avoid that with the move to the CA1000V, or do we still need to buy something new?

What version are you starting from?
Also, are you talking about upgrading to the Cx000V version from CP-VA, do you mean migrating config to another VM? Or do you mean upgrading form what was once called CP-VA-500 to C1000V on the same VM.

I'm hoping to hear otherwise from our vendor this year, but from the sound of it last year - since the serial numbers were originally sold as CP-VA-500's, the system prevents them from being able to continue offering support, even though the upgrade migrated them to a new virtual platform model number.

Which is to say - they want us to buy new C-1000Vs to replace our current C-1000Vs because...the serial numbers expired. I can't say I really like that answer at all.

Please let your vendor have a look at Arubapedia for the License Transfer Process. There is a solution in place for this situation, under the assumption that the existing VM appliances are still under active support.
