End-of-life is a term used with respect to a retailed product, indicating that a vendor will not be doing the following: marketing, selling, promoting or limit support of a particular product.
In the computing field, this has significance in the production and supportability of software and hardware products. For example; Microsoft marking Windows 95 for end-of-life. New software written by Microsoft, such as Office XP is notorious for not being supported on Windows 95.
Depending on vendor, this may differ from end of service life, which has the added distinction that a system or software will no longer be supported by the vendor providing support.
