English term or phrase: sunset support
A company is going to stop offering support for a product. I wonder if there is a set terminology for this in French?


As you may be aware, Microsoft has decided to sunset product support on Windows XP which is a requirement for the XXX series.

disagree  Jennifer Levey: You have mis-interpreted the only word in the question which might be causing Asker problems: 'sunset'.
