Product Support Lifecycle
Lifespan of products and when support ends.
As new software is created, older versions move into limited or no-support status. Once a product reaches the end of its life, updates or replacement options are no longer offered. In some cases, discontinued products may not have any newer replacements available.
CDE Software provides free technical support instead of charging for support plans or higher product prices. To help cover the cost of continued support, we rely on customers upgrading to the latest version.
Please note that once a product has reached End of Life, it no longer qualifies for upgrade pricing.
Also, Microsoft has announced end-of-life dates for certain versions of Windows. When a version of Windows reaches the end of extended support, we can no longer guarantee that our products will install, run, or function as designed on that version.
The following operating system is scheduled to reach end of life soon:
• Windows Server 2016 – January 11, 2027
The following operating systems have already reached the end of extended support from Microsoft and are no longer tested with our products:
• Windows 10 – October 14, 2025
• Windows Server 2012 R2 – October 10, 2023
• Windows 8.1 – January 10, 2023
• Windows Server 2008 R2 – January 14, 2020
• Windows Server 2008 – January 14, 2020
• Windows 7 – January 14, 2020
• Windows Vista – April 11, 2017
• Windows Server 2003 – July 2015
• Windows XP – April 8, 2014
• Windows 2000 – July 2010
