Support for Products on Operating Systems No Longer Supported

If you are enrolled in Software Maintenance Service, The MathWorks will respond to technical questions and provide workarounds when possible for a period of two years from the date when The MathWorks ended support for an operating system. See the platform roadmap for more information.
