ExtremeCloud™ IQ UI Transition: What Extreme Platform ONE™ Users Need to Know

SamPirok — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 20:49:37 GMT

UPDATED: July 2026

The ExtremeCloud™ IQ classic UI will be retired in Q2 calendar year 2027.

We will be transitioning from the classic UI to our modernized new UI which will become the default interface for all ExtremeCloud IQ customers. The final operational date for the classic UI is yet to be confirmed and will be communicated closer to the transition period.

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving your network management experience in Extreme Platform ONE™,, we are announcing a chance in the UI experience for ExtremeCloud™ IQ, which you currently can toggle back and forth via the ‘9-dots’.

If you are currently only using Extreme Platform ONE, without toggling back to ExtremeCloud IQ, then this will not apply to you, as your experience in Extreme Platform ONE will remain unchanged.

While we are actively developing and executing our roadmap in Extreme Platform ONE to deliver a world class network management platform, we provided customers with this option, as we understand the need to sometimes go back to ExtremeCloud IQ for specific workflows. Today, customers who do toggle to ExtremeCloud IQ are taken to the classic UI.

Because of a licensing issue, we have one foot in PlatformOne and the other in IQ Classic. Is this going to be an issue?

Hi DeVoID,
Initially, this shouldn't be a problem, but it's unclear how they will handle the divergence in functionalities associated with each licensing model; this could be quite relevant in switches with Fabric Engine.
