Discontinuation
The following Windows licenses (WES2009 and Windows XP Pro) are discontinued due to Microsoft's
licensing model. Therefore, the lifecycle date (Last Time Buy and Last Shipment) below is triggered by
Microsoft, without any prolongation options.
For the mentioned Windows products we don't have 100% compatible successor products. A possible
solution could be Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019/2021 LTSC for currently available products (except
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB only for APC/PPC2100).
Due to the urgency this discontinuation is executed according to the current discontinuation procedure.

Customer Update via PRICS
Mid-January 2023 we informed our customers via PRICS about the New Product Life Cycle, especially the
new regulations regarding the discontinuation process. End of January 2023 we informed our customers via
PRICS about the discontinuation of ACOPOS 8V family.
We got some questions and feedback from customers and sales teams regarding missing specific price
information in the ACOPOS 8V family discontinuation PRICS campaign. Therefore, we will make an
additional PRICS campaign, which will give an update on previously missing price information. To keep all
the information together in one document, we will include the previously communicated technical product
information with the new pricing information.

New Chapter: Specific price information
We added a new chapter with detailed information about the scaled pricing. The indicated increases are the
standard increases. We should enforce these prices. The base for the pricing is the last agreed customer
price (current price) before the discontinuation. These prices are for all last time buys (LTB).
Exceptions:
For new orders placed before July 1, 2023, the current price, without increase, will apply, but only under the
following conditions:
the requested delivery date from the customer is compliant with current lead times
the quantities are not exceeding the monthly average order quantities (monthly average of the last 12
months, valid for each individual material number)
We allow this exceptions because of our extraordinary lead time situation.
Deviations from the standard pricing:
Deviations from the standard pricing are possible in exceptional cases. Base for possible price range is the
Reference Price plus the dedicated markup (Z1 + LTB shipment period markup). The relative discount (in %),
depending on the individual sales level of each sales engineer, is still valid. Same with the escalation
possibilities. Using this possibility should be exceptional, we should enforce the standard price increases if
it's possible.
Additional pricing information:
The last time buy price regulations are not affecting existing orders of the related discontinued products up to
request/wish date within June 20, 2025. Orders (including contracts) with request/wish date after this date
will be affected by the last time buy price regulations.
Within the PRICS Campaign ”Update on discontinuation ACOPOS 8V family – Pricing information” we point
out explicitly the binding character of customer orders, the specific price agreements and the cancellation
fee. Additionally, we refer again to our new B&R product lifecycle standard.
PRICS mailing issues
PRICS is using the dedicated e-mail address information out of CRM/Contacts. If this information is missing
or is wrong - PRICS is not able to process the information to reach out to the customer. In this case the data
in CRM must be updated. Not informing the customer is no option.

ACOPOS LTB offerings - IQ situation
Since the function in IQ (Intelligent Quotes Tool) is not yet available to support the calculation of discontinued
products, we encourage you to follow the Guideline to offer products in Last Time Buy phase in Confluence.
Here you will find as well precise instructions on how to proceed with the pricing of such materials in
individual years.
ACOPOS LTB Contracts - SAP situation
As announced in presentations and trainings we will use a new type of SAP contracts for all customer LTB
orders. It is not allowed to use our current standard SAP contracts or standard orders. All LTB orders must
use the new SAP contracts. The new contracts are the necessary base to process the monitoring in the
future and they are the base for some legal aspects of the new life cycle process.
Due to impacts of high prior IT projects, we have a certain delay in the development of the new type of SAP
contracts. We had to split the project in two phases: Rollout of the new SAP contracts itself and as a second
step adding the pricing mechanism. At the moment we are in the final tests of the first phase. Roll-out will
start within April. In parallel trainings for order processing will take place. Entering customer LTB orders will
be possible with the availability of the new SAP contracts in April, we will inform when they are ready to use.
Customer order confirmations need to have the pricing. That means we are not able to confirm the contracts
within the first step. This will be possible starting with the second step in May, when we will be adding the
pricing mechanism. Also here we will explicitly inform when it is available.
One of the questions we got was, if it's necessary to have a special customer legal contract or legal
procedure for the LTB orders: It's not. Nothing special is necessary, no signed document. A normal order is
sufficient. The order needs to have a reference to our IQ offer. Only if the order excludes the boundary
conditions of the B&R product lifecycle standard, we will have an issue - we have to reject the order as long
this conditions are not accepted.

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC
In November 2021, Microsoft released a new LTSC version of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise based on
Windows 10 Enterprise version 21H2 (Build 19044). The new version is called Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
2021 LTSC and is again a long-term support variant with security updates for up to 10 years (after its
release).
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC basically offers the same features as Windows 10 Enterprise version
21H2 (Build 19044), but without Microsoft Store, Cortana and bundled apps (e.g., Office). Intentionally, it also
doesn't receive any mandatory updates. The new version is the ideal Windows 10 edition for machine
builders with requests for long term support, smaller footprints, lockdown features, customization and
deployment options. For new applications, we strongly recommend using the new Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise 2021 LTSC version.
Features
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is based on Windows 10 Enterprise version 21H2 (Build 19044) and
offers following new features:
Microsoft Edge browser support (Internet Explorer has already been discontinued)
Improved Unified Write Filter (UWF)
Optimized strip down features
The B&R version of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC brings additional benefits regarding
customization and lockdown options with updated ADI driver, licensing tool, UWF manager, settings changer,

and language packs. Those images are also pre-installed and activated, where the activation data is also
permanently stored on the devices.
The new Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is only available as 64-bit version with UEFI boot, the
minimum mass storage size is 40 GB and minimum RAM size is 2GB.
With Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC we now only offer a fixed set on four pre-installed default
languages (English EN, German DE, French FR and Spanish ES). Other languages are also not able preconfigurable in IQ, those must be installed via language pack (available on our website, login required).
Scope and availability
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC will be offered for the following product families and will be rolled out
in three steps:
Step 1 release1) - March 2023:
APC2200
PPC2200
PPC1200
Step 2 release - April to June 2023:
APC3100
PPC3100
APC910 Skylake
PPC900 Skylake
MPC3100
Step 3 release - July 2023:
APC4100
1) Already available as pre-release
Details about further rollouts will be continuously published in the GPOS product room.
Licensing model
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC is based on the same licensing model as Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
2019 LTSC. Therefore, Microsoft distinguishes three license types based on the following performance
classes:
License Performance class
Entry Intel ATOM
Intel Celeron1)
Value Intel Celeron
Intel Core i3
Intel Core i5
Intel Xeon1)
High End Intel Core i7
Intel Xeon
1) Only valid for specific CPUs, that Microsoft has classified lower beginning with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
2021 LTSC (detail about classifications can be found in the table below).

The classification according to the performance class of the processors leads to in a significant price
advantage for the lower and mid-range performance segments. The prices of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
2021 LTSC for the three license types basically remain the same as for the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019
LTSC versions.

Recovery solution
For Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC, there is a recovery solution that can be downloaded from the
B&R website (login required). The recovery solution can be used to restore a Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
2021 LTSC recovery solution image that has been damaged or accidentally deleted.
License activation is not affected, because pre-installed and activated systems have the activation data
permanently stored on the devices,
Field upgrades
Field upgrades to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC are also possible. With that, customers can
upgrade supported products (mentioned under Scope and availability) in the field to the latest Windows 10
IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC version by using the recovery solution and recovery solution image from the B&R
website (login required).
This should not be the preferred method of installation and should only be used in exceptional cases where a
factory upgrade at the headquarter is not possible. A major disadvantage compared to factory installations is
the lack of Windows activation. During a factory installation, the Windows version is also activated, and the
activation data is permanently saved on the device. After a field upgrade, the activation must be carried out
manually in the field online via Internet or telephone. Another disadvantage is the fact, that in this case the
activation data is not permanently stored on the device. In the case of a new installation, the system must be
activated again.
Regarding Hypervisor, there are some differences when using a field installed image (recovery solution) vs. a
pre-installed and pre-activated Windows 10 IoT Enterprise image. The installation of Hypervisor could cause
loss of activation. For more information, please review the corresponding working guide (available on our
website, login required).
