Additionally, the end-of-support date for Mac OS X 10.5 is May 31, 2015. This means that on that date, Code42 will stop providing support for our software on computers and servers running Mac OS X 10.5.

  • There will be no supported path to upgrade existing installations of the Code42 server on Mac OS X v10.5 after version 3.6.4.

  • After the end of support date, Code42 cannot guarantee that our products will operate without issues on Mac OS X v10.5.
