Introducing NETLAB+ Version 25

Recent changes in VMware vSphere licensing present a challenge for many of our customers. To address this NDG has developed NETLAB+ version 25, which introduces support for Proxmox.

Achieving a stable release is our highest priority. In the interim, we recommend that clients who are not impacted by VMware license expirations continue to use the stable NETLAB+ version 24. For those transitioning to Proxmox, our development team is focused on expediting the stabilization of version 25.

• NETLAB+ VE version 25 contains over 300,000 lines of new code to support Proxmox backends.

• This release may contain known issues and bugs.

• Before submitting a bug report, please check the known issues.

• Please send feedback and bug reports to support@netdevgroup.com.

Getting Started
