Why is it important to assess the end-of-life (EOL) status of a third-party software component?

EOL software is typically more expensive to license.

EOL software typically no longer receives security patches, increasing the risk of unpatched vulnerabilities.

EOL software is always incompatible with modern operating systems.

EOL software is more likely to be targeted by malware because it is older.
