Software technical support and software updates

HP provides 90 days of limited technical support with the purchase of a base license for the HP Distributed Cloud Networking software.

Some HP SDN applications have a trial period, during which limited technical support is provided for 90 days. Other HP SDN applications do not have a trial period and you must purchase a base license for the application to receive 90 days of limited support. Support for the controller and each HP SDN application is purchased separately, but you must have a base license for the controller to receive support for your licensed HP SDN application.
