Last Day Order

Last Day Order is the last day to order the product from Dell SonicWALL and signifies Dell SonicWALL's intent to start the end of life process. The duration of this phase is variable and depends on numerous factors including material availability, Dell SonicWALL and channel inventory and end-user demand. Last Day Order is informational only; products in this phase are active. Dell SonicWALL continues to sell support contracts.

 

Active Retirement Mode

Products in ARM are removed from all price lists and marketing collateral at this time. Support contracts for products in this phase will remain on price lists and will continue to be available for purchase until the phase has ended. During this time Dell SonicWALL may release a limited number of new features and will issue bug fixes only to the latest version of firmware available for the device. Software/firmware support and hardware warranty are available throughout ARM for products with an active support contract. The duration of this phase is two years beginning one day after the end of Last Day Order.

Should a technical issue arise on one of the subscription services that is offered during the End of Support phase, customers may be required to transition to an upgrade product at their own cost. Certain remaining entitlements on the End of Support appliance may be transitioned to the upgrade appliance upon request.
