The Instant On AP's were released a little over a year ago and do not have an EOL.

Hello,
I'm in the process of setting up 2 places and I'm wondering this too. What is the planned lifetime of access points. How long until EOL?

Hi,
In https://www.arubainstanton.com/files/SB_AIO_Foundation-Care-Support-Services.pdf I found access points get 3 years of Foundation Care. As written; Foundation Care includes software support.
If there are no licence fee's but access points only get 3 years of soft-/firmware updates (after adding them to the portal?), then I would have to replace products (with amazing MTBF specs ) way to soon.
This would be a hidden licence fee, needing to trow access points away after 3 years also would be environmentally bad.
Shoudn't the document say "Access points wil get at least 3 years of soft-/firmware updates after the product goes end of sale"?
I don't need new features, but long term security updates are mandatory.
Can I get a clear answer?
