Software & Hardware We Support Last updated 24 September 2026

How to read this page. We support what Ahsay supports. Ahsay follows each vendor’s own end-of-support date, and once that date passes we help on a best-endeavours basis rather than withdrawing support on the day. Dates shown are the vendor’s published end of support — extended support for Microsoft products, standard support for Ubuntu (Ubuntu Pro ESM runs longer), and regular security support for Debian (Debian LTS runs longer). Where a vendor’s own lifecycle page and this table disagree, the vendor’s page is right: tell us and we will correct it.

Compiled from Ahsay’s compatibility lists (AhsayCBS v10, 4 August 2026 · Synology, 25 August 2026 · QNAP, 20 July 2026) and checked against vendor lifecycle data on 24 September 2026.
