Support Lifecycle Definitions

• Current products – This refers to products currently manufactured and sold by Datacolor. These products are fully supported and are not included in this section.
• End of sale products – This refers to products that are no longer manufactured by Datacolor. In some circumstances, customers can still order these products in small quantities from remaining inventory. Products in this phase have maintenance contract availability as well as technical support services.
• End of support products – This refers to products that Datacolor can no longer provide spare parts replacement or repair services. This means no telephone or email support and no support on reinstallation. Any current application agreements will be honored but will not be renewed. However, Datacolor can offer verification service for a limited time for our Spectrophotometers. Verification service provides basic verification of the instrument, but no replacement parts will be provided.
