The Stormshield Management Center end of life schedule shows how long Stormshield Management Center (SMC), the centralized administration console for your Stormshield Network Security firewalls, keeps receiving fixes. Check your release against its dates early, so your firewalls never depend on unsupported software.
How Stormshield Management Center End of Life Works
Stormshield follows a three-stage schedule: end of sales, end of renewals and end of life. After end-of-life, a product gets no updates, hardware warranties or support unless Stormshield grants special conditions, and maintenance support stops too. Customers therefore get time to move to up-to-date releases first.
Staying current is a security matter. An obsolete version may contain security flaws, while each new release adds security patches, so a supported cybersecurity product is your first defence against intrusions. The versioning policy and lifecycle support rules decide how long each branch keeps that protection.
SMC Lifecycle Support Schedule and Supported Versions
SMC runs on hypervisors such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or KVM, and in cloud environments like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, yet the schedule is identical everywhere. Each release lists its lowest and highest SNS supported versions, a maintenance end and a lifecycle support end.
| Release | Lowest SNS supported versions | Highest SNS supported versions | Maintenance ends | Lifecycle support ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.9 | 4.3 | 5.1 | Active | Active |
| 3.8 | 4.3 | 5.0 | 24 Aug 2026 | 23 Nov 2026 |
| 3.7 | 4.3 | 4.8 | 10 Sep 2025 | 10 Dec 2025 |
| 3.6 | 4.3 | 4.8 | 18 Mar 2025 | 18 Jun 2025 |
Version 3.8 is next to lose lifecycle support, on 23 Nov 2026, so plan to run release 3.9 before then. Confirm every date in Stormshield's technical documentation, since public trackers also offer an RSS feed and an iCalendar feed for these dates.
Product Life Cycle for SNS Firmware and Firewalls
Each range has its own product lifecycle, described in lifecycle matrices that cover hardware, software, companion tools and compatibility. SMC is a companion product in the SNS documents, so its dates follow the firewall releases it manages, and each Stormshield firewall model also has its own sales and support dates.
Firmware Versions and the LTSB Overlap
Firmware versions are maintained by branch, with special attention to the Long-Term Support Branch (LTSB). Maintenance is guaranteed for at least 12 months on a branch labelled LTSB, and a 6-month overlap between LTSB branches gives you time to migrate. Each SMC release states which SNS firmware it can manage, so an LTSB overlap also widens the window in which your SMC release stays usable. The firmware is certified by ANSSI.
Stormshield Firewall Companions Outside SMC End of Life
- Stormshield Log Supervisor handles log management.
- Stormshield Endpoint Security protects each workstation.
- Stormshield Data Security covers encryption.
These companion products each have their own lifecycle document and release notes, so an SMC date never decides theirs.
Migration Plan for Obsolete SMC Versions
Build your migration plan while your current release is still supported:
- Upgrade to the newest SMC release.
- Test every API call, API key and generated client against it, since many teams script the SMC API.
- Move managed firewalls off branches nearing their end date.
For ageing hardware, a dedicated sales representative at Stormshield can help you prepare the plan.
