Product and support lifecycle
Unicon reserves the right to make changes to the time frames based on business needs or technical requirements.
The Unicon products eLux and Scout Enterprise Management Suite pass through three life-cycle phases. Each phase is induced by a milestone.
The life-cycle of Unicon products is driven by the customer requirements for new features and constantly evolving technologies including enhancements to existing products.
Milestones in the product lifecycle

Unicon customers receive continued support exclusively for the latest version of the Long Term Service Release (LTSR) provided on our myelux.com portal with the latest Cumulative Update (CU), and for the latest version of the Current Release (CR) provided. |
| End of Maintenance (EOM) | Date of GA of the next major product release After EOM, Unicon is no longer obliged to give software support. Unicon offers Extended Support on request (chargeable). |
| End of Life (EOL) | With EOL, no further security fixes are published. Support and downloads are no longer available for this product. EOL is a minimum of six months from the EOM date.
