Description

This article describes the lifecycle for the FortiDLP agent and its support windows.

Scope

FortiDLP.

Solution

Agent support:

Each FortiDLP Agent is supported for 12 months starting from its release. Beyond this period, FortiDLP may enforce an End of Life policy so that older Agent versions will no longer operate. The following table lists the current supported Agents with their release dates and FortiDLP’s end of support dates.

OS-specific support:

For operating system (OS) versions fully supported by their vendors, FortiDLP provides guidance and assistance focused on troubleshooting, recommendations for configuration and functionality-related issues, and timely bug fixes and enhancements in new Agent releases.

However, when an Agent is running on an OS version that is reaching its end of vendor service, the following will apply. At least one month before an OS version’s end-of-vendor service date, this document will be updated with the last Agent that will support the OS version. From the end of FortiDLP’s support date for that OS version:

  • FortiDLP will make its best efforts to assist customers with issues where possible, for the normal 12-month period.

  • In the event that an existing solution or workaround cannot be found, customers will be expected to upgrade to an OS that is fully supported by the vendor.

  • Any issues pertaining to the FortiDLP Agent running on this OS version will not be addressed with bug fixes and enhancements.

  • FortiDLP may enforce a policy so that newer Agent versions would not operate on this OS version.

  • After the 12-month support period for the last supported Agent version, FortiDLP may enforce an End of Life policy so that older Agent versions will no longer operate on this OS version.

For more details on each OS, see the operating system sections below.

 

Windows version support:

The following tables outline the vendor release dates, vendor end-of-service dates, and FortiDLP end-of-support dates for Windows OS versions.

 

Desktop editions:

FortiDLP provides support for Agents on endpoints running the following Windows versions:

  • Feature update versions are supported until the end of Windows Enterprise servicing.

  • LTSB/LTSC edition versions are supported until the end of Windows Enterprise mainstream support.

 

For details, see Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 11 release information. The Agent is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows. 32-bit versions are not supported.
