It's not precise at all. It depends on the POV. Two are available. Here's the developers view: "End-of-life" (EOL) is a term used with respect to a product supplied to customers, indicating that the product is in the end of its useful life (from the vendor's point of view), and a vendor intends to stop marketing, selling, or sustaining it. (The vendor may simply intend to limit or end support for the product.) In the specific case of product sales, a vendor may employ the more specific term "end-of-sale" (EOS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product)
Or the costumers view: 'End of life"(EOL) is when the costumer has no use for it and will no longer pay for it.' sven -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Luc-Eric Rousseau Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 1:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Softimage is not EOL On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 4:55 PM, Sven Constable <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list, > > Some people (Adsk) told me recently that Softimage is EOL.

End of Life is a business term that has a precise definition. http://goo.gl/CaiIxp
