About this tag
The end of life software tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussion of products that vendors no longer support, where the practical consequence is often that security flaws go unpatched. The tagged content focuses on SonicWall Global Management System, which reached end of life and received two disclosed vulnerabilities that the vendor declined to fix, directing customers to migrate to Network Security Manager instead.

This tag suits readers tracking unsupported platforms and the security and management decisions they force.
