What does it mean "End of Life"?
At this stage of the product lifecycle, we offer zero support or assistance and do not guarantee the product’s functionality at all, including module updates. The best we can do is guide the customer to the most appropriate migration path so that they upgrade to the latest equivalent product.

ESET business products in the transition period that expires in June 2021
ESET implemented a new End of life policy on July 1, 2020. To help you with the changes this new policy brings, a one-year transitional period was established. During this time, the product versions transitioned from Basic Support or Limited Support in the current state to End of Life due to the new policy will still receive module updates:
•ESET endpoint products for Windows versions 5.x up to 6.4.x
•ESET endpoint products for macOS 6.x up to 6.8.x
•ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition, ESET Smart Security Business Edition 4.x
•ESET products for Windows Server 6.0.x up to 6.4.x
After June 2021, these products will behave similarly to the affected products mentioned above (for example, they will not be receiving module updates)!
