Each minor version will be supported until the next minor version is released. For details on the support lifecycle, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle.
Ubuntu
Agents can be used on computers running the Ubuntu operating system. Agents are supported on Ubuntu until the end of Ubuntu's Long Term Support (LTS) lifecycle. The LTS lifecycle is 5 years from release date. For details on the support lifecycle, see The Ubuntu lifecycle and release cadence.
Mac
Agents can be used on computers running Mac operating systems. Agents are supported on macOS until Apple no longer supports the operating system. Apple does not adhere to an official support lifecycle cadence. See Apple's macOS Support page for information on support for its operating systems.
Windows
Agents can be used on computers running the Windows operating system. Agents are supported on Windows until the end of the Enterprise and Education Editions support lifecycle. The lifecycle is typically 18 months from release date. For details on the support lifecycle for Windows, see Microsoft's Windows lifecycle fact sheet.
Retirement of operating systems
When an operating system is no longer supported by its vendor, it is no longer supported by Incydr, and is shown in the list of previously supported operating systems for Incydr. Incydr no longer supports, guarantees operation of, or promises assistance with Incydr products running on these operating systems.
Agent upgrades may be blocked on unsupported operating systems
If your computer runs an older version of an operating system that is no longer supported by Incydr, Incydr may block upgrades of Incydr agents on the computer. To permit upgrade to the most recent version, update the operating system on the computer to a supported version as shown in: Supported operating systems.
