Reading Product Discontinuation Notices
The end of a product line is the start of a support question.
What the notice should state
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Affected models | Exact model numbers and variants |
| Last order date | When new orders stop |
| Last ship date | When delivery ends |
| Support period | How long spares and service continue |
| Migration path | Recommended replacement and compatibility |
| Documentation | Where to obtain archived manuals |
If you own affected equipment
- Buy critical spares before the last order date.
- Ask whether the replacement is form and fit compatible.
- Record the migration path in your asset plan.
Support commitments vary by product and market. Confirm them in writing with the supplier.
