NVIDIA vPC to EDU Quadro VDWS 1 CCU 5 Year | Cisco Support — NV-GRD-PC2WKPE-5S

Keep your NVIDIA virtual desktop software on a supported trajectory with this 1 CCU upgrade entitlement and required 5-year SUMS coverage. It is intended for environments that need continued access to maintenance updates and release eligibility while moving from NVIDIA vPC to EDU Quadro VDWS. For infrastructure and procurement teams, the benefit is control. Long-term support coverage helps reduce the risk of running unsupported software, which can complicate security reviews, compatibility testing, and change management. It also makes budgeting more predictable by consolidating support planning into a defined multi-year window. This entitlement is a strong fit when the cost of version drift is higher than the cost of maintaining coverage. By keeping the software under active maintenance, teams can plan upgrades with less friction and avoid the operational drag that comes from expired support. The result is a cleaner lifecycle strategy for virtual desktop environments that need to stay current without unnecessary disruption.
