AT&T sues Broadcom for refusing to renew perpetual license support

AT&T has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom, accusing the company of retroactively changing existing VMware contracts. The lawsuit alleges that Broadcom is preventing AT&T from renewing support services for previously purchased perpetual VMware software licenses unless certain conditions are met. AT&T claims that support services are critical for software errors, security patches, upgrades, and maintenance. The lawsuit seeks a one-year renewal for support services and aims to prevent Broadcom from cutting off support. Broadcom denies the allegations and argues that AT&T is not eligible for a renewal. The case could have implications for AT&T's provision of services to first responders and the Office of the President.
