We recommend that all our customers install the latest DriveLock version.
Support lifecycle:
Starting with this release, we are adjusting the support lifecycle for new DriveLock product versions for all operating systems.
As soon as a new product version is released, we announce the End of Life (EOL) of the previous version.
*1 DriveLock will continue to provide full support for this version for 12 months from the date of the EOL announcement. This includes critical maintenance updates, code fixes for bugs and critical issues.
After the expiration of full support (12 months), DriveLock will no longer release new updates for this version.
*2 However, DriveLock product support is available for a further 6 months to answer telephone, e-mail and self-service inquiries.
This applies to all on-premise versions from version 2023.1.
Upgrades:
Customers who have previous product versions and a valid maintenance contract can upgrade the environment to the latest product version.
End of life of features:
-
Version 2023.2 is the last version that supports Novell Directory Services (NDS).
-
We have stopped developing the DCC and it will no longer be part of our product. DriveLock 2021.2 is the last version that officially supports the DCC until May 2024.
TLS 1.2: Please make sure that by 31st October 2024, all operating systems running DriveLock support TLS 1.2.
