IPO SE powered by OVA vs "ABE" OVA

[LegoTajkun]

Does anybody know what are differences between IPO SE deployment with Powered By OVA and standard "ABE" OVA?
PB OVA is intended for use in deployment with PB licensing. As PB licenses could not be extended any more one option for such customers is "switch" them to "onprem" licenses. In that case is it option to activate needed licenses on localhost WebLM or local on exiting IPOSE deployed from powered by OVA?
Or new VM must be deployed from standard "ABE" OVA to use regular licenses?
Are there any instruction from Avaya for migration possibilities/steps for deprecated Powered By customers?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.

Powered By is a cloud offer. I know TelAgility was hosting some. So, if you sold a Powered By IPO and you were partnered up with them, they'd spin you up your IPO SE Powered By OVA and get you going.

That said, being a cloud offer, that's a "no money down" proposition when it comes to licenses. Which would lead me to believe your statement about "switching" them to "onprem" licenses means buying them.

Based on the end of sale notice, it looks like you can add users as long as you have a contract, and depending if you're in the US or not, you're getting kicked off June 30 2021 or Sept 30 2021. I imagine the Avaya rep/the cloud vendor is letting them know that. I imagine there's some kind of forced migration to ACO available.

Based on your customer, you'd either squeeze them into ACO or into spending for prem IPO licenses. Depending on the number of users and the feature usage - namely softphones - you'll get a decent cost comparison of how much it would take to license the equivalent on prem or as a IPO SE in your data center vs monthly with ACO.

Existing Powered By Avaya IP Office booked contracts remain unchanged, can continue to be
expanded, and continue to be entitled for Avaya support through the contract term, giving
Powered By Avaya IP Office customers time to make any necessary transitions. No additional
Powered by Avaya IP Office software feature releases are planned; however, Avaya intends
to continue development of the premises-based IP Office platform for customer deployments.

In the US, customers that have contracts
expiring between April 1, 2020 and June 30,
2020 will be allowed to renew their contracts
for 12 months. After June 30, 2020, renewals
for US customers will no longer be available.
For all other countries, customers that have
contracts expiring between April 1, 2020 and
September 30, 2020 will be allowed to renew
their contracts for 12 months. After September
30, 2020 renewals will no longer be available
for any customer

kyle555 tnx for replay and explanation.
I was looking for explicit technical migration advice as PowereedBy is deprecated and I had to move my (PoweredBy hosting partner) existing PB customers either to Subscription model or old school on-premise license. Thus I wonder what PB vs "regular" OVA file defers.
Meantime I find out that booth possible solutions had same prerequisite - build up new IPO SE and configure it from scratch (it is not possible to load config from existing one). It is due that PB is Select and it could not be easy converted to non-select (retain existing configuration).

If somebody will be interested, I noticed that similar threat is started:
