SiteAudit End of Support Policy
On this page
What End of Support Means
As Netaphor releases new versions of SiteAudit, older versions eventually reach End of Support.
When a SiteAudit version reaches End of Support, Netaphor no longer provides:
- New features or enhancements
- Bug fixes
- Compatibility updates
- Security or performance improvements
Newer SiteAudit releases may also discontinue support for older Microsoft Windows and SQL Server platforms. For example, current SiteAudit releases do not support certain legacy platforms previously supported by older versions, including Windows 8.0, Windows Server 2016, and Microsoft SQL Server Express 2016.

Continuing to Use an Unsupported Version
SiteAudit installations that have reached End of Support may continue to operate as permitted by their licenses. However, Netaphor does not provide fixes, enhancements, compatibility updates, or other product updates for unsupported releases.
Customers who contact Netaphor Support regarding an unsupported version will be advised to upgrade to a currently supported release.
Netaphor strongly recommends upgrading to SiteAudit v8.x or later to benefit from current features, security enhancements, performance improvements, and supported platform compatibility.
