Refer to Trend Micro's latest End-of-Life Notice for more information on milestone definitions and standard timelines.
Deep Security Manager supports the use of older agent versions (see Deep Security Agent platforms), but Trend Micro encourages you to upgrade agents regularly. New agent releases provide additional security features and protection, better quality, performance improvements, and updates to stay in sync with releases from each platform vendor.
For more information, see Deep Security release strategy and lifecycle policy. For information on feature releases, see Deep Security FR lifecycle dates.
Products for the Japan region are handled under a region-specific policy. For more information, see End-of-Life Trend Micro Products and Versions.
