Unless otherwise provided, the Sunset phase shall end one (1) year from the effective date immediately above. On November 9, 2021, these versions of ChemOffice and related products will reach End of Life (“EOL”). During the Sunset phase, we will continue to provide limited support to each Customer with an active maintenance for this Product, as described in the Product Life Cycle. Except for the support options described in the PerkinElmer Informatics Product Life Cycle, once EOL is reached PerkinElmer will no longer provide support for these products.
