Avira Product Lifecycle
Plan your investments and your security
Avira products are developed and maintained with a long-term view. This approach provides our business customers with the security they need to make investments and for planning. The Avira philosophy is based upon the following:
- Avira gives notice at least 3 years in advance of the discontinuation of an Avira product or operating system.
- Avira supports all operating systems 12 months longer, as a rule, than the producer of the operating system.
- For Microsoft´s operating systems Avira adds 12 months to Microsoft's 'Mainstream Support End Date' for its end of support date.
- For Apple operating systems Avira supports the last 2 operating system versions.
You can find out which operating system is compatible with the product you require in the relevant product description under "System Requirements".
