# End of Support - Software Lifecycle

All good things must come to an end. Eventually as software becomes outdated, it becomes more expensive and cumbersome to maintain. Here's more information about a products lifecycle, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_product

The software products listed below have reached the end of their lifecycle and will no longer receive new technical developments or support. We strongly encourage users to upgrade their software to avoid any possible potential for: Security vulnerabilities, incompatibility, compliance issues, poor performance and reliability.

### Can I still use these older Versions?

Yes, you may continue to use the unsupported software at your own discretion. For the reasons described above, we encourage users to migrate to a current version.

### How do I migrate to a current Version?

**1.** Contact Sales (https://www.numericalinnovations.com/contact-us) for assistance migrating to a current Version. Ask about our Lifetime Maintenance plans (https://www.numericalinnovations.com/lifetime-maintenance) where you get all technical support, license replacements, and upgrades free - forever.

**2.** Numerical Cloud - $75 Monthly Subscription. (https://www.numericalinnovations.com/numerical-cloud-subscription) We offer a low cost, cancel anytime - monthly subscription called "Numerical Cloud" allowing users to stay current and help their business prosper.
