Suprema's End-of-Life (EOL) schedule and replacement guidance for South African deployments.
EOL Announcement
The date Suprema announces End-of-Sale and End-of-Support. EOS follows roughly six months later.
End of Sale (EOS)
The last date to place new orders through Suprema's sales channels. Subject to remaining stock.
End of Support (EOST)
The last date Suprema provides product support — typically three years after EOS. After this date, no firmware updates or technical support.
