Boson’s Upgrade Policy

If I bought a Boson product after Cisco's announcement of certification changes (June 2019), do I get a free upgrade when the new exams are released?
Qualifying purchases will be entitled to receive a free upgrade to the related product(s) when those become available. See Boson’s Upgrade Policy for the Cisco 2020 Certification Update for details.

Question?

What happens to my existing certification with the new program?
For CCNA, Specialist and CCNP: Your current certification is still valid and will be active until it's expiration date. With the new program, your current certification will be transitioned to an equivalent. For CCIE: If you are an active CCIE, your suspended year will be converted to an active year. For example, if your active CCIE would have been suspended beginning April 21, 2020, you will sustain active status until April 21, 2021.
