About the product lifecycle policy

Updated

Overview

Incydr strives to continually innovate and evolve its solutions, providing customers with richer functionality and more robust products. As part of this ongoing evolution, certain Incydr products, including software versions, will reach the end of their lives. Our goal is to provide straightforward product lifecycle policies that help customers better design, deploy, and manage their IT investments and upgrades.

This article outlines Incydr's lifecycle policy for its products.

Product lifecycle policy

A Incydr product is:

Any good or service produced or provided by Incydr.

The following policy items apply to all Incydr products:

  1. Incydr may choose to announce the end-of-sale and end-of-support dates for its products at any time.
  2. Incydr works with its customers to ensure continuity of business when announcing the end-of-sale or end-of-support dates for its products.
  3. Notifications and reminders to customers for end-of-support begin approximately 6 months prior to the end-of-support date.

Software lifecycle policy

For information about end-of-life policies for software versions, see our Software Version End-Of-Life Policy.

Definitions

end-of-sale date

The date when a product is no longer available for purchase from Incydr or its authorized resellers. This date also establishes the end-of-life date for hardware and some software product lines.

end-of-support

Access to maintenance, remote monitoring and the Incydr Technical Support Engineer Team is no longer available. Patches, bug fixes, repair actions, and parts replacements are no longer available to products that have reached end-of-support. All hardware reaches end-of-support when non-renewed, or at the end of year five (60 months beyond purchase date), whichever is first.

major software version

A significant software version that is defined as x.0. Example: 4.0.

obsolete

Once obsolete, the product is not sold, manufactured, improved, repaired, maintained or supported.

product

Any good or service produced or provided by Incydr.

product lifecycle

The processes surrounding the introduction, growth and maturity of a product. The product lifecycle includes a series of technical and business milestones and activities that, once completed, make a product obsolete. 

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.
