Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Some customers may have versions of WAE/WAVE hardware that prevent migration to Version 5.4 because Version 5.4 is not supported on older platforms that have reached their end-of-sale dates. Those customers may still migrate to Version 5.3, which is still available, or may use the Cisco Technology Migration Program referenced below to upgrade their hardware to facilitate migration to Version 5.4.
