Seclore Application Modernization – Plan your system migration (Cloud customers)
- Seclore now uses Linux Docker (container) based deployments. All new features will be released in this modern application.
- We are moving out of Windows deployments for server components. However, we will continue to provide bug fixes on the legacy application for the foreseeable future.
- Seclore Cloud is already enabled with the modern application to provide faster access to new features and security updates. To move to the Seclore Cloud, connect with your Seclore SPOC.
- For on-premises customers, the option to migrate to Docker-based deployment is live now.
Discontinuing Support:
The Seclore product suite needs to continuously support new platforms and maintain version compatibility with a whole lot of devices and applications that inevitably get launched every year.
Unsupported software that is no longer patched and updated also carries greater security risks. It is critical for us to stop supporting such platforms and ensure that Seclore-protected information is safe and secure from vulnerabilities of the underlying technology.

What does Seclore End of support date really mean?
It means that Seclore product versions released before the End of Support Date may still work, but releases after that date may not.
For example, regarding Windows XP support:
- Assuming the following release dates:
- 1-May: Seclore Desktop Client 3.8 is released.
- 30-June: End of Support for Windows XP
- 1-August: Seclore Desktop Client 3.9 is released.
- Now, on a Windows XP computer, it will still be possible to install Desktop Client 3.8
- However, it will not be possible to install Desktop Client 3.9.
- Also, existing 3.8 installations on Windows XP will not get upgraded to 3.9.
What Seclore components are no longer supported?
The End-of-Life Date for a Software Version will be 24 months from the time it becomes Generally Available. This includes all Seclore agents that are installed on end-user devices and server-side components like the Policy Server, Enterprise Application connectors, APIs and SDKs.
All upgrades and patches are provided on the latest release versions only. For more information, see our Product Lifecycle Policy.
