Product Support Lifecycle

Lifespan of products and when support ends.

As new products are developed, older products move to limited or non-supported status. Product updates and replacements are unavailable for products reaching end of life and availability of replacements or updates may not be available for products that have been discontinued. Because CDE Software offers free technical support (opposed to support contracts or higher product costs), the costs of continued support are partly offset when you purchase upgrades.

Products that have reached End of Life status no longer will qualify for upgrade pricing.

The following operating systems have been announced as soon reaching end-of-life by Microsoft:

  • Windows Server 2012 [October 10, 2023]

 

The following operating systems are no longer supported by Microsoft and as such, no longer tested against our products:
