KACE Software Product Support Lifecycle Policy -
Beschreibung
The Software Product Support Lifecycle Policy describes the phases during which our products are eligible for patches (fixes), support, and downloads from our support portal. It is our policy to provide support and fixes on current versions of our software when you are under a current support agreement. Fixes to older versions are at our discretion. We strive to put resources behind the most recent product releases in order to continually improve and enhance the value of our software. We will attempt to answer questions about older versions of our products provided that resources are available; however, if you are using a discontinued version, we encourage you to upgrade to the currently supported version of the software. Our usual support policy is to provide support on both the current (n) and prior (n-1) versions of our products.
