End-of-Availability notice for legacy DSM, Surveillance Station, SRM, and more
Published: 2023-01-11[Updated May 8, 2023] Due to changes in our licensing agreements, Synology will, from 31 May 2023, remove certain DSM installation files, firmware versions, and software packages from our official website and from distribution. This change may impact owners of Synology systems that have reached end-of-life (EOL) status, as those devices will no longer be eligible for upgrades.
Please note that the following Synology software will not be available from 31 May 2023:
