Discourse End of Service Life Dates
Discourse has published end-of-service-life dates for 14 products in our catalog. 3 reach EOSL within the next 12 months and 11 are already past OEM support. Third-party support keeps those releases covered after the vendor stops shipping patches: issue management, vulnerability remediation and compliance maintenance.

Discourse EOSL: Frequently Asked Questions
What does end of service life (EOSL) mean for Discourse equipment?
EOSL is the date after which Discourse no longer sells support contracts or ships updates for a product. The equipment keeps working; only the OEM's willingness to support it ends. Third-party maintenance takes over from that date with engineering support and replacement parts.
Can I get support for Discourse products that are already past EOSL?
Yes. 11 Discourse products in this list are already past their EOSL date and all remain supportable. We hold spares for every model we quote and cover equipment for 5+ years past the OEM date.
How far ahead should I plan for a Discourse EOSL date?
Start 6 to 12 months before the EOSL date. That is enough time to compare the OEM's final renewal against third-party maintenance, decide whether to extend or refresh, and move coverage without a gap. We return an indicative price within 24 hours and a firm quote within 48.
