TL;DR

Broadcom is discontinuing VMware's on-premises perpetual licenses and ending the sale of support and subscription renewals for such licenses, pushing customers towards subscription-based models. This move leaves customers with perpetual licenses without support or updates. Broadcom is also introducing a "bring-your-own-subscription" license option for VMware validated hybrid cloud endpoints running VMware Cloud Foundation.
