The third-party supplier delivers Software updates pursuant to standards defined by that supplier, which may be stated in applicable warranties, service contracts, or policies. Dell is not responsible for such updates.

NOTE: Dell software support for interoperability with the third-party software is subject to the life cycle of the third-party software.

Due to variations in product lines and dependencies on third-party component providers, Dell cannot guarantee that security support is available for all components of a given product until its end of the security support period. Due to these variations and dependencies, Dell cannot guarantee that all components of a product are provided the same security support period. (For example: Such as when support for a third-party component ends prior to the end of the Dell security support period.) Sometimes, mitigation of a security issue may require a move to a newer product.
