Avid Update Their End Of Support Dates For Various Products

Avid have just updated their support lifespan database list to reflect how long they will be providing support for various products.
Although this is no real indication of how long these devices will remain functional for (many products do go on working after theses dates unless they are intentionally killed of)  it does tell us when they will stop providing technical support and help and most importantly to the user, bug fixes and updates.

Avid's own definition of these terms are:

  • Final Sale Date is the last day a product is available for sale.
    End of Sale is the date when a product may no longer be ordered or shipped
  • End of Support is the date which all forms of service and technical support for a product cease

Note: Driver updates for some of our Audio hardware products may be provided beyond the Final Sale Date. Please check here to access the appropriate driver page for latest qualification information.

As we reported earlier in the week, we have just seen some much-welcomed driver updates for the Eleven Rack and 3rd Generation MBoxes (the Mboxes have now been included on this list but not the eleven Rack as yet).

More Avid Devices for Video And Broadcast are on the master list which can be found here let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
