Incydr platform support policy

Overview

Incydr is designed, built, and tested to run on specific operating system and web browser platforms, including:

  • Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft Edge, and Safari

This page explains our guidelines and process for ending support for platforms and versions of those platforms.

Support for platforms

  • Incydr may, at its sole discretion, end support for its products on specified platforms.
  • Incydr supports the last major version of a platform until the end-of-support date for an Incydr product on that platform.

Support for versions of platforms

Incydr may end support for specified versions of platforms.

  • We make an effort to support the two most recent versions of supported platforms.
  • Retirement of a platform version generally coincides with either a minor or maintenance software version release, or with a calendar date.
  • The end-of-support date for a platform version may or may not coincide with the end-of-support date for a major version of an Incydr product.
  • In the event that a platform's manufacturer discontinues support for a version of their platform, Incydr is likely to stop producing and supporting its products for that version of the platform as well.

Platform support guidelines

For specific details about system requirements for Incydr products, review the system requirements:

Guidelines for operating system support

Incydr agents are supported on devices running operating systems supported by their vendors. Incydr does not support its software on devices running an operating system that is no longer supported by its vendor, including operating systems past the end of vendor support receiving patches through an extended security update program.

For details, see the Operating system support policy

Guidelines for browser support

We produce and test browser-based products, such as the Incydr console, using the most recent version of each supported web browser.

Guidelines for retirement announcements

Our announcements about ending support for a particular platform are intended to provide you with time to transition to a supported platform. We make an effort to:

  • Announce retirements at least six months before the effective date of retirement
  • Support each platform through the platform's end-of-support date

When a platform or version is retired, we post an announcement on the support site and in the community. We also may include retirement announcements in regular email notifications to administrators of Incydr environments. 

Definitions

End-of-support

Access to maintenance, remote monitoring, and the Incydr Technical Support Engineer Team is no longer available. Patches, bug fixes, and troubleshooting are no longer available for products that have reached end-of-support.

Platforms

Software used to run or access Incydr products. Examples of platforms include operating systems, mobile operating systems, and web browsers.

Retirement

When a platform is retired, Incydr stops supporting our products on that platform.

Software versions

Incydr uses four designations for software versions:

  • Major software versions contain large features and changes to functionality. Major version numbers are one digit (and a zero), such as 4.0 or 5.0.
  • Minor software versions contain smaller features and enhancements to existing functionality. Minor version numbers are two digits, such as 3.6 or 4.2.
  • Maintenance software versions contain bug fixes and other small changes. Maintenance version numbers are three digits, such as 4.3.5 or 5.1.2.
  • Patch software versions contain bug fixes or other corrections that must be addressed before the next scheduled release point. Patch version numbers are four digits, such as 3.6.4.3 or 4.3.5.1.

Platform announcements

See the Operating system support policy for guidelines and process we follow for operating systems.
