To list the valid upgrade paths between software versions

To show which licenses are compatible with each version

To compare hardware performance across platforms

To provide a list of all known bugs in each version

Why is it important to consider end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-support (EOS) status before deciding to upgrade?

To determine if the current version is still supported and if an upgrade is necessary

To identify which hardware platforms are compatible with the current version

To calculate the exact cost of the upgrade license
