Looks like a sad day? Nimble is the way forward I think but VSA support until 2022 though.

HPE Lefthand/SAN I/Q & VSA was a rock solid platform for me & never had any major issues (I wouldn’t say the same about Nimble…)

Think I found the answer 

If you’ve got any licenses with product codes starting D or T then you need to convert those to Q product codes (perpetual) as below:

Otherwise, nothing you need to do. Support will continue for (almost) 3 years.

(The complete shambles that was the StoreVirtual 3200 finished it off. It’s basically storevirtual re-packaged as a two-controller array with no clustering features which completely missed the point. But then HPE made it completely unreliable to boot….)
