End of Support

The latest date a manufacturer will provide security patches.  Some manufacturers have an end of mainstream support date and an extended end-of support date.  In these cases, after the end of mainstream support, no additional software feature/function enhancements or fixes are issued but security patches are until the end of extended support.  The recommended best practice is to migrate before end of mainstream support.
