Retiring Products
UNH IT urges clients using the following products to upgrade to a newer version or replace for best performance as noted in the software and hardware guide. Often, as a manufacturer releases a new product, the older products are no longer supported or updated by the manufacturer. In some cases, this can lead to a product that is no longer compatible with other necessary software/hardware, poses a security risk, or UNH IT has determined another product is a better fit for the university community. Please contact the IT Service Desk at 862-4242 to discuss replacement options.
