Is it possible to find out what apps were EOL'ed and which ones were assigned EOL dates?

[shuduguru]

Hi @jiwaniec , Yes, we can provide the list of applications that has life cycle dates.

For your information, we have already started providing the list of applications (that has lifecycle information) in the previous ARL release notification (ARL build # 2720)  https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Content-Blog/FlexNet-Manager-Update-Application-Recognition-Library-2720-and/bc-p/259443#M547

Hi @shuduguru,

Does the list of EOL application updates  include applications which had release date info added, or is this focused on the EOL dates only? 

[shuduguru]

Hi @samaritam1 , Apologies for the delayed response. 

We are focussed on all the lifecycle attributes like Release date, End of Support, and End of Life.
