When an operating system has reached its end of life, the operating system manufacturer will no longer provide additional support to the software. As a result, while Armor may still allow the use of this operating system, Armor cannot guarantee the operating system's usability in the future, especially for new installations.
Armor recommends that you always upgrade to the latest version of an operating system; however, at the very least, when your current operating system has reached its end of life, you should upgrade to a newer version of the software.
Review the tables below to see the end-of-life date for your operating system.
The dates mentioned in this document may change without notice. For the latest dates, always refer to the vendor's website.
