Avira Product Lifecycle

Plan your investments and your security

The Avira products are being developed and maintained with a long-term view. This approach provides our business customers security for their investment and planning that all businesses require. The Avira philosophy is based upon the following:

1. Avira supports all operating systems 12 months longer, as a rule, than the producer of the operating system.
2. Avira gives notice at least 3 years in advance of the discontinuation of an operating system.

You can find out which operating system is compatible with the product you require in the relevant product description under "System Requirements".
