REMINDER: Upcoming End-of-Support (EOS) – March 31, 2026 

This is a reminder of the End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support (EOS) notices previously announced in 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the following products will reach End-of-Support (EOS):

• Snow License Manager 9.x and earlier versions

After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure.

We encourage you to review the earlier announcement for full details, and to ensure that your environment is prepared for this transition.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact your Flexera Support team.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Updates to Snow License Manager v9.0 and Snow Inventory Server v6.0

We want to inform you of important lifecycle changes to Snow License Manager and Snow Inventory Server that may impact your environment. 

As of December 31, 2025, the following products will reach End-of-Life (EOL): 

• Snow License Manager v9.x and earlier 
• Snow Inventory Server v6.x and earlier 

End-of-Support (EOS) for these versions will follow on March 31, 2026. After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure. 

These versions were originally released in 2018, with the final update (v9.45.0) to be released on June 26, 2025. This lifecycle transition is part of our standard product strategy. Additionally, supporting over 65 different versions of Snow License Manager places a significant burden on our support and engineering teams. By reducing the number of supported versions, we can focus more on enhancing the products. 

What’s Coming Next 

To support your upgrade planning, we’re excited to share that we are targeting the release of the following products by the end of Q3 2025: 

• Snow License Manager v25 
• Snow Inventory Server v25 

These upcoming versions will include improvements designed to help you get even more value from your Flexera investment. 

What You Should Do 

To ensure continued support and access to the latest features, we recommend: 

• Upgrading to a newer version of Snow License Manager and Snow Inventory Server, or 
• Migrating to Snow Atlas, our SaaS-based platform, for a more modern and scalable experience. 

You should be able to find the latest versions of Snow License Manager and Snow Inventory Server on the Snow Product Downloads page on Flexera Community, within the Snow Update Service or through your partner. If you are planning your upgrade or exploring a move to Snow Atlas, please reach out to your Flexera account and/or partner team. 

If you have questions, please contact your Flexera Support team.

As of December 31, 2025, the following products will reach End-of-Life (EOL): 

• Snow License Manager v9.x and earlier 
• Snow Inventory Server v6.x and earlier 

End-of-Support (EOS) for these versions will follow on March 31, 2026. After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure.

What’s Coming Next 

To support your upgrade planning, we’re excited to share that we are targeting the release of the following products by the end of Q3 2025: 

• Snow License Manager 25.1.0 
• Snow Inventory Server 25.1.0 

These upcoming versions will include improvements designed to help you get even more value from your Flexera investment.  

Note: This release will follow the standard update process. Although we are moving to a new major version, you won’t need a new license key to install it, upgrading will remain straightforward. 

Currently, we support over 65 different versions of SLM 9, which places a significant burden on our support and engineering teams.

By streamlining our versioning, we can focus more on delivering product enhancements. Additionally, we’re aligning our versioning strategy with Flexera, which is why we’re transitioning to version 25.  

Looking ahead, we plan to release version 25.2.0 in December and version 26.1.0 in March 2026. This schedule will allow us to officially end support for SLM 9 by March 2026. 

 These new versions are a change to the naming and support cycle rather than a major feature with architectural changes. The update cycles will take no more effort than if we would have continued releasing v9 versions of the products.

What You Should Do

• Upgrading to a newer version of Snow License Manager and Snow Inventory Server, or 
• Migrating to Snow Atlas, our SaaS-based platform, for a more modern and scalable experience.
