# End-Of-Life Apps in Patch My PC Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud*

There are times when we need to remove a product from the Patch My PC (PMPC) App Catalog, primarily because the product either:

* Goes End-Of-Life (EOL) and is no longer supported or maintained by the vendor.
* Other compatibility issues related to silent install or versioning.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

See [How Products are Handled at End-Of-Life (EOL) or Become Incompatible](https://patchmypc.com/kb/how-products-are-handled-end/) for more information about how we handle EOL apps in general, other reasons for removing apps from our App Catalog, and a searchable [List of Products Removed due to End-of-Life or Compatibility Issues](https://patchmypc.com/kb/how-products-are-handled-end/#h-list-of-products-removed-due-to-end-of-life-or-compatability-issues).
{% endhint %}

In PMPC Cloud, when an app goes EOL:

* The app no longer appears in App Catalog.
* Any existing deployments of the app will be flagged with the **EOL** indicator in the **Deployments** node.
* If the app has been discovered by PMPC Cloud Discovery and is currently being managed, the app itself will be flagged with the **EOL** indicator on the **Managed** tab of the **Discovery** node.

If an app that is part of an MSP App Set is marked as EOL:

* Any existing deployments of the app will be flagged with the **EOL** indicator in the App Set.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

* If an app includes multiple variants and only certain variants are marked as EOL, the other non-EOL variants continue to function normally and are not marked as EOL.
* Any existing deployments of EOL apps can still be edited, recreated, etc., but you will be unable to create a new deployment of the EOL app. This also applies to EOL apps that are part of an existing App Set. EOL apps will not appear in the **Select Application** dropdown when creating a new App Set.
* If an existing App Set contains a deployment for an EOL app, new assignments can be added to the deployment for new Child Companies managed by the MSP Parent Company.
  {% endhint %}
