From the Astaro Blog:
Astaro will continue to support the release V7 of ASG, AMG and AWG for 18 months after that date, until it’s End-of-Life on December 31st, 2012. Support includes bug and security fixes (System Up2Dates) and Pattern Up2Dates and technical support (via web form and phone).
If a customer decides to renew for longer than a year now, we should plan on upgrading them to V8. The process takes approximately 1 hr, if everything goes smoothly.
1. Clone existing Astaro to new hard-drive.
2. Load version 8.
3. Restore config file.
