Dear HIS users / IT Team / @everyone,

We wanted to bring to your attention a critical update concerning the status of Windows Operating Systems and SQL Server versions. This update is specifically relevant to the Microsoft software used to meet your Bizbox requirements. As technology continues to evolve, it's crucial to ensure that your systems remain secure, reliable, and up-to-date.

These softwares have lifecycles during which Microsoft provides regular updates, security patches, and support. However, certain versions are approaching their end of life dates, which means Microsoft will no longer offer these vital updates and support.

For the most accurate and current information about the end of life dates for Windows operating systems, please refer to the official Microsoft Lifecycle Policy page or contact Microsoft directly. Microsoft regularly updates their support policies to ensure security and compatibility. We've prepared a summary of all relevant software that has already reached its End of Life (EOL) and the schedule for EOL of other versions. This information is provided for your reference.

When Windows Operating Systems and SQL Server reaches its end of life, it means that Microsoft stops providing regular updates and support. This can lead to security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and potential downtime. Systems may become more susceptible to cyber threats and might not work well with new software or hardware. To ensure security and smooth operations, it's crucial to upgrade to newer versions or find alternative solutions before reaching the end of life dates.

By proactively communicating the upcoming end of life for specific Windows OS and SQL versions, you'll enable your organization and the IT team to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Bizbox Team
