At the M.A.D Day conference in Hamburg on November 15, 2024, Microsoft delivered surprising news for IT professionals still relying on Application Virtualization (App-V). Previously scheduled to go end of life (EOL) in April 2026, App-V has now been granted fixed extended support.
This means App-V will no longer be deprecated and will continue to ship with Windows. However, updates will be limited to bug fixes and security patches, with no new feature development planned.
Should You Migrate Away from App-V?
If App-V’s current capabilities align with your organization's needs, there’s no rush to migrate. For those considering a move to the cloud, App-V app attach enables you to utilize your existing App-V packages within Azure Virtual Desktop.
While active development has ceased, App-V remains a solid choice for managing legacy software. For those still relying on it, you can confidently continue to use App-V for as long as it serves your needs.
This unexpected extension provides IT teams with clarity and reassurance, ensuring App-V remains a viable tool in your application management toolkit.
