There is no way to use this product AFTER EOL ?

How is possible to be released in 15 Nov 2020 and EOL Dec 2021 ? This product life is 13 months only ?

Hello,

The program dates back to 2013 and was intended for use with Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway running on Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2008 R2.  As best as I can tell, Microsoft ended support for Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway in April 2020.

You can find ESET's current business offerings at https://www.eset.com/int/business/small-and-medium/.

I know everything you say. You can consider that there is ppl willing to use also software WITHOUT support for the "right" money.

Other example or idea: you can transform this product into something protecting IIS or SQL not only simple firewall but also inspecting commands received by the server and by this way to be able to stop an attack BEFORE arrive the request to the IIS. It is an example.

Joust firewall is not enough, it also required Packet Inspection BEFORE arriving to IIS.

The GUY is nice, to pity to discontinue.
