Still holding a Socialcast archive? Give it a home in Viva Engage.
VMware retired Socialcast years ago, but many organizations kept an export for records. That archive can be loaded into Viva Engage so the history is searchable again.
Status, checked November 2026: VMware ended availability of Socialcast in May 2018 and support for paid licenses ended on May 17, 2019.
