Complete EOL for ISPsystem software of the 4th generation

It will soon be three years since we introduced the 5th generation of our software products. At this time, a great majority of our customers already had an opportunity to experience and appreciate the functionality and convenience of the new panels. Meanwhile, the life cycle of ISPmanager 4 to this date is more than 12 years. And this is a very respectable time in the software world, but every day, the 4th versions of solutions and those 3^rd party software, which are compatible with them, are getting more and more obsolete. So, it's about time to finish their story.

ISPsystem already stopped selling  the 4th generation of solutions and providing technical support for these products (at our Forum and in your Client area) at the end of 2015. On December 1, 2016 ISPsystem will discontinue to release updates, including those related to critical vulnerabilities, as well as termination of paid support of the 4th generation of licenses.

Why it’s important to upgrade

Control panels of the 5th generation not only supports modern operating systems and provide a better user interface, but also deliver a great number of new functions. For example, ISPmanager 5 will allow you to:
