Enterprise Product Service Life
Our software products are continuously evolving, and we have released many versions over the years.
We strive to release stable products with cutting edge technology. However, with new software, there is the inevitable need for Software Maintenance services to provide bug fixes and adjustments for evolving web-technologies.
And as our products always provide new features and possibilities, our documentation and user forums may not always be able to provide an answer to all questions that may arise, in which case our Product Support service team stands ready to assist.
Over time, existing product versions mature and new versions becomes the center of attention for customers wanting the latest and greatest in features and extensibility. We adapt to this continuous evolution by phasing out services for the old versions while commencing services for the new.
This means that our services specific to each release are only available from a given start date until an end date. The time in between the start and end dates is what we call the product's Service Life.
This table provides an overview of the beginning and end of the Service Life of our products.
