Last Day Order

Last Day Order (LDO) is advanced notification to Dell SonicWALL distributors that Dell SonicWALL intends 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.

Active Retirement Mode

Active Retirement Mode (ARM) is a statement by the company that it is no longer actively manufacturing or selling the product.  Products in ARM are removed from all price lists and marketing collateral. The duration of this phase is typically two years. 

Limited Retirement Mode

Limited Retirement Mode (LRM) is a statement by the company that it will no longer develop or release driver updates or bug fixes for these products.  Depending on inventory, technical capability, customer demand and gross margin, Dell SonicWALL will continue to offer support agreements on products in LRM.  LRM is a discretionary phase in the product lifecycle process.  For GMS 7.0 and 7.1, Dell strongly recommends an upgrade to 7.2 or 8.x for the latest hotfixes, features, and performance.

End of Support
End of Support (EOS) is an announcement by Dell SonicWALL to indicate that it will no longer provide technical support, firmware updates/upgrades or hardware replacement for the product, and that all remaining unique inventory or materials will become unavailable.  Dell SonicWALL may continue to offer security service subscriptions such as Content Filtering and Intrusion Prevention during the End of Support phase, but it will no longer provide technical support for the product or any security service running on it.  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.
