Inactive credentials
With the implementation of the new Credential Upgrade Path process (credential versioning), the following credentials now have an inactive status. An inactive credential is still recognized as part of the program, but is no longer attainable by a new candidate. This credential is valid toward benefits in the HP Certified Professional Program. Any HP Certified Professional holding a credential with this status is strongly encouraged to upgrade to an Active credential.
