About the operating system support policy

Overview

Code42 supports Code42 agents running on computers whose operating systems are supported by their vendors. Code42 does not support its software on computers running an operating system that is no longer supported by its vendor, including operating systems past the end of vendor support receiving patches through an extended security update program.

Support policies for operating systems

Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Code42 agents can be used on computers running the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Code42 agents are supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux until the end of Red Hat's lifecycle for major versions. Each minor version will be supported until the next minor version is released. For details on the support lifecycle, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle.

Ubuntu

Code42 agents can be used on computers running the Ubuntu operating system. Code42 agents are supported on Ubuntu until the end of Ubuntu's Long Term Support (LTS) lifecycle. The LTS lifecycle is 5 years from release date. For details on the support lifecycle, see The Ubuntu lifecycle and release cadence.

Mac

Code42 agents can be used on computers running Mac operating systems. Code42 agents are supported on macOS until Apple no longer supports the operating system. Apple does not adhere to an official support lifecycle cadence. See Apple's macOS Support page for information on support for its operating systems. 

Windows

The lifecycle is typically 18 months from release date. For details on the support lifecycle for Windows, see Microsoft's Windows lifecycle fact sheet

Supported operating systems announcements

On a regular basis, Code42 reviews operating system support and announces updates as needed via email and postings on the Code42 community.

Retirement of operating systems

When an operating system is no longer supported by its vendor, it is no longer supported by Code42, and is shown in the list of previously supported operating systems for Incydr. Code42 no longer supports, guarantees operation of, or promises assistance with Code42 products running on these operating systems.

Code42 agent upgrades may be blocked on unsupported operating systems

If your computer runs an older version of an operating system that is no longer supported by Code42, Code42 may block upgrades of Code42 agents on the computer. To permit upgrade to the most recent version, update the operating system on the computer to a supported version as shown in: Supported operating systems.
