End of life (EOL) notice

When a specific release or version of an operating system reaches end of life (EOL) or its end of support date, the operating system vendor no longer supports and releases updates for the product, including automatic fixes, updates, and online technical assistance.

LSF, in turn, is not tested on EOL operating systems. If you have extended support to continue to use EOL operating systems, you can use these operating system versions with LSF. Any issue with using LSF will be supported only if it can be reproduced on a supported operating system.
