Why discontinue products?

Chaos strives to deliver innovative products and services that create value for our customers, great user experience, and outstanding final results. To keep up with this product development some products eventually reach their natural end of life. 

A product or service is discontinued in phases to ensure you have sufficient time to transition to an alternative solution. 

 

What does product discontinuation mean for Chaos products?

Product discontinuation phases

 

  • Product Licensing after End of Maintenance

Your existing product or service will continue to operate as normal for the length of your license, with perpetual licenses working in perpetuity.

 

  • End of Sales

This is the date as of which a Chaos product or service will no longer be available for purchase from our online store or our partner network.

 

  • End of Maintenance
    We will no longer offer build maintenance and updates. However, builds will still be available on the Chaos download section until the End of Support phase.  The End of Maintenance phase usually lasts for 12 months.

     

  • End of Support

The End of Support marks the date after which a Chaos product or service will no longer receive technical support, and when builds will no longer be available for download. 

You may continue to use the product after the end of support, however any problems reported will not be taken into consideration by the Chaos team.
