End of Life Policy Update

On July 1, 2020, ESET updated our End of Life policy to discontinue the use of Basic Support. The support levels for our products are now: Full Support, Limited Support, and End of Life. To ensure the highest level of support for your ESET security product, upgrade or migrate to the latest version using our new End of Life landing page.

The landing page is the primary resource for those seeking assistance with their ESET product’s upgrade or migration. It provides step-by-step instructions for all product upgrade scenarios that arise from our updated End of Life policy. In addition, the landing page will be continuously updated to include the latest upgrade scenarios related to End of Life.

We have also published Customer Advisory 2020-0010. The Customer Advisory gives detailed descriptions of the following major End of Life issues that ESET users need to address immediately:

  • SHA-1 (operating system)
  • Windows 10 (21H1 update)
  • Cross Certification
