About these dates

Each date is the vendor’s own, copied from its lifecycle page and checked on the day shown. Vendors can move dates without notice, and our copy can fall behind or contain mistakes, so confirm with the vendor before you rely on a date for a decision, contract or compliance deadline. Information only, provided as is (terms). Reuse: free to download and quote, with credit to SnowDriven and a link (terms of use).

Running something on this list? Plan the move.

A modernization audit finds every runtime, framework and server you depend on, ranks the risks and plans the move in stages, so a date is a milestone, not a surprise.
