ePO 5.3.3 end of life

[jacek]

Hi All,

According to release ePO 5.3.3, will End of Life support date be extended for ePO 5.3?

Currently it is 09/30/2018, but it was for ePO 5.3.2.

I sent an inquiry on this to my Intel Security Rep.

Will post, once I hear (unless someone else already heard and beats me to the punch).

FYI, still no response from Sec Rep. Sending follow up

Just heard back from McAfee. It seems they are still progressing with an EOL date of Sept 2018 for ePO 5.3.3. (Seems a waste to only support that patch level for a year, but, so be it.) The are now recommending moving forward to ePO 5.9, Patch 9 (5.9.1?) although Patch 1's RTW date is not yet known - the word was, if we can 'wait for it', 'wait for it'.

McAfee extended the EOL for ePO 5.3 to March 31, 2019.

EOL is done based on the major/minor version, not the patch. So when ePO 5.3 goes EOL that will apply to all patch versions of 5.3.
