Hi;

Is it true that the subscription license does not include physical appliances anymore? In the sense, it can only be transfered between virtual appliances?

You can still buy physical appliances.

The subscription license has never included the physical appliance. When the subscription license was released, "hardware appliances" would appear as three line items on the quote/invoice.

1. The subscription for the "virtual appliance" (includes support)
2. The physical appliance
3. Support contract for the physical appliance (e.g. RMA faulty hardware)

When it is shipped, you get a bit of hardware that behaves like a physical appliance but you have the option of moving the “subscription” bit to a virtual appliance later if you want to (useful for customers with a ‘move everything to cloud’ roadmap and don't want to buy VM's later on).
