Dragon Professional Anywhere 2026.1 Release notes, Nuance Healthcare, 2026, Support policy, End of life (EOL).
Open the original- What it measures
- The sentence is part of Nuance's support policy at the top of its 2026.1 release notes. The life cycle table on the same page gives a separate end-of-life date for each release.
- What it does not show
- The rule applies to the cloud product. Desktop Dragon is a separate product with its own support policy. The date a particular release stops working is in Nuance's table, not in this sentence alone.
