What is EOL (End of Life)?
In the context of product lifecycles, EOL is the final stage of a product’s existence. In several situations, whenever a certain technology reaches the point of EOL, the manufacturer will no longer perform maintenance, issue updates, or provide customer support for the product. This stage can be difficult for the users who use certain hardware or software on a daily basis.
