Alpha Technologies blazed new trails in rubber testing with the 1984 release of Eclipse. The product reached End of Life in 2012 and continued to serve customers reliably, but the time has come to end all technical assistance and support for Eclipse / Daisy.
Eclipse first released
Eclipse support ended
Eclipse stops operating
Starting January 1, 2025, Alpha no longer provides technical assistance or support for Eclipse / Daisy.
Eclipse is no longer covered by Alpha Technologies’ support policies. Evaluate your reliance on Eclipse to avoid potential software problems.
Enterprise builds on Eclipse’s legacy with modern capabilities tailored to today’s business needs.
Eclipse has been reliable for decades, but continuing to use it past End-of-Life can seriously affect your operations.
Eclipse will stop working entirely after December 31, 2029, a serious risk if your move to Enterprise isn’t finished first.
Without updates and bug fixes, Eclipse is prone to data corruption, integration failures and loss of critical information.
Without security patches, Eclipse may become vulnerable to malware, data breaches and system exploits.
Any issue, minor or critical, must be resolved internally, which can increase downtime and costs.
Legacy software struggles with modern workloads, leading to slower processing and inefficiency.
As standards and regulations evolve, Eclipse may no longer meet compliance requirements, creating legal and financial risk.
