DCE connection to EcoStruxure IT end of life in November 2021

The DCE connection to EcoStruxure IT will be disabled by late November 2021

The connection to EcoStruxure IT from DCE was an interim solution until the Gateway was fully functional.

No new DCE connections to EcoStruxure IT will be allowed starting November 30, 2020

Note: This applies to all DCE versions that support EcoStruxure IT.

If you registered your DCE server with EcoStruxure IT before November 30, 2020, you can continue to use that existing connection to EcoStruxure IT until November 2021.

If you try to register a DCE server on or after November 30, 2020, you'll see an error message and a link to help you get started with EcoStruxure IT Gateway.
