FAQ

Licensing, renewals and end of life

Windows 10 has reached end of support. What are my options?

Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025, so it no longer receives regular security updates. The usual options are:

  • Upgrade devices that meet the Windows 11 hardware requirements.
  • Replace devices that don't meet those requirements.
  • Buy Extended Security Updates (ESU) as a stopgap. ESU is available to businesses for up to three years, priced per device, and the price increases each year.

We can supply Windows 11-ready laptops and desktops and the licensing that goes with them.

What do end of sale and end of support mean?

End of sale means the vendor has stopped selling a product, but it is still supported. End of support (often called end of life) means it no longer receives security patches, firmware updates or vendor technical support.

Hardware and software past end of support keep working, but new vulnerabilities stay unpatched, and it can cause problems with compliance, cyber insurance and compatibility with newer software.

Which other end-of-support dates should I be watching?

A few common ones:

  • Office 2016 and Office 2019 reached end of support on 14 October 2025.
  • Windows Server 2016 reaches end of extended support on 12 January 2027.
  • Palo Alto Networks publishes end-of-life dates for both firewall models and PAN-OS software versions.
  • Aruba publishes end-of-sale and end-of-support dates for its switches and access points.

Tell us what you have and we can quote replacements or renewals before support ends.

Do my servers need replacing if they are still working?

A server that still works can still be past end of support for its hardware, its operating system, or both. Once that happens it stops receiving security patches and firmware updates, and any vendor support contract may no longer be renewable.

We can supply replacement server hardware and the Windows Server licensing that goes with it.

What happens if a firewall or Aruba Central subscription lapses?

Depending on the subscription, the features it covers stop receiving updates or stop working. For a firewall, that can include threat signatures and URL filtering. For Aruba Central, devices can lose cloud management. Renewing before the expiry date avoids a gap in protection or management.

Should Microsoft 365 be on a monthly or an annual term?

Annual terms cost less per licence, but you can generally only reduce your licence count at the anniversary, apart from a short cancellation window just after purchase or renewal. Monthly terms cost more but let you reduce licence counts month to month. Many businesses keep most licences on annual terms and a few on monthly terms to allow for staff changes.

Why buy through authorised distribution?

Products bought through authorised distribution are genuine. They come with a valid manufacturer warranty, and your vendor support entitlements are registered correctly. Grey-market hardware and licences can be refused warranty or support by the vendor.

Do you install or support the products you supply?

Vee Tech supplies software licensing, subscriptions and hardware. Where installation or ongoing support is needed, we can refer you to a trusted partner.
