CSR-1000V No Longer Free???

I went to cisco.com looking to see if there were any newer releases of CSR-1000V and the 2 most recent releases 3.16.0S and 3.15.1S both have the Lock over Paper icon indicating a Service Contract is required. The older releases are still available without the contract, but this has me wondering if Cisco is planning on locking all future releases behind an unobtainable service contract? I went ahead and downloaded 3.15.0S which is the latest version available without a contract while I still can.

    Yeah, I had the same thing recently. 3.14 was the only one I could download without a contract requirement.

    Apparently, from 3.14.0S to 3.15.0S they also dropped the option with 1 vCPU and 2.5 GB vRAM. I went to deploy 3.15.0S and the smallest option was 4 GB vRAM. I switched to the 3.14.0S OVA and the 2.5 GB vRAM option was still there. So, it looks like I'll be staying with 3.14 either way.

    [BAD MATH PUN]Cisco seems to have pulled a 180 after 3.14[/BAD MATH PUN]
