Release introduced: 26.4

This new NSP GUI menu customization capability allows customers and users to modify the order and labels shown in the main NSP GUI menu.

[NSPF-472384] NSP Support for Subscription Licensing Phase 2: Add NSP client banners to notify about subscription term expiration

Release introduced: 26.4

This feature adds the capability to notify the NSP user in advance of the NSP Subscription license expiration, using a color-coded banner and text that appear at the top of each window open in the NSP web UI. The color and text change at 180, 80, 7, and 0 days remaining, and when the NSP subscription license is more than 30 days past due. The banner cannot be removed when the NSP license has 7 or fewer days remaining, or after the license has expired.

[NSPF-512441] User Access Control - Enforce scope of command - Phase 3

Release introduced: 26.4

Customers upgrading to Release 26.4 will find a new auto-created role for "NSP notification service", and this role will be assigned to all user groups. (If the upgraded system has only one user group and its name is "admin", no auto-created role for "NSP notification service" is generated.) This ensures continuity of user access to NBI notifications after the upgrade. The NSP system administrator should review the required user access levels for NBI notifications and update roles and user groups as needed. Refer to the NSP System Administrator Guide for procedures on updating user access controls.

[NSPF-535821] Simplify PCE Feature Packages and Multi-layer Feature Packages: will be calculated based on License Points

Release introduced: 26.4

Starting with Release 26.4, the PCE feature packages (Control & Visualization, Control & Optimization, Enhanced Optimization, Simulation) will transition their value calculation to license points, in line with all the other NSP feature packages.

This will simplify the way the NSP value is determined, presented, and understood by customers.

[NSPF-535830] Simplify Developer Feature Package - and display in NSP CLM, with all other FPs

Release introduced: 26.4

Existing customers of the Programmability Suite feature packages, in any combination, will be transitioned to the NSP Developer feature package when they upgrade to Release 26.4 or later. New customers can select the NSP Developer feature package with Release 26.4 or later.
