When is the Cisco MX65-HW end of life?
Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the MX65-HW effective May 28, 2019. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is May 28, 2026, after which Cisco no longer provides support. It is past its last date of support.
What replaces the Cisco MX65-HW?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco Meraki MX68 Cloud Managed Security Appliance. Uniqcli, an authorized Cisco partner, can quote the replacement TAA-compliant and GPC-payable, and help plan the cutover.
Can I still get support for the MX65-HW?
Not from Cisco. The MX65-HW passed its Last Date of Support (May 28, 2026), so Cisco TAC, hardware replacement, and SmartNet renewals are no longer available. Independent third-party maintenance can still cover the hardware itself, typically well below OEM renewal rates. Uniqcli can review your install base, confirm coverage, and quote extended support or a refresh side by side.
