Dear Valued Customer,

You may lose your hardware appliance functionality on Friday, December 17, 2021 if you do not update your Symantec product to use the new ABRCA root certificate. You may also have virtual appliances and/or SSLV hardware appliances with certificates which expired on November 15, 2021 GMT that need attention.

If you have not started your ABRCA upgrade and are at risk for missing the December 2021 deadline, please contact your Broadcom account team immediately.

How to use the table below:

  •  If your product has an automatic update capability, confirm that the update applied successfully. If the automatic update does not take place because of a firewall or other connectivity issues, then follow the manual steps provided in the article for your product.
  • If your product is labeled "Upgrade Required," you must upgrade to the new software version before the root certificate expires to ensure uninterrupted operation. Some products require additional steps as outlined in the corresponding article.
  •  If your ABRCA Root Certificate has expired, follow the recovery steps provided in the Knowledge Base article for your product.
