Where can the EOL (End of life) for the the MATLAB versions can be found out? [Names of versions of the MATLAB for which the support has been discontinued by The MathWorks]

For which of the following prodcuts the support has been disconstinued?

MATLAB 7.5, MATLAB 2007, MATLAB 2008, MATLAB 2009, MATLAB 2010, MATLAB 2011, MATLAB 2012a, MATLAB 2012b, MATLAB 2013a, MATLAB 2013b, MATLAB 2014a, MATLAB 2014b, MATLAB 2015a, MATLAB 2015b, MATLAB 2016a, MATLAB 2016b, MATLAB 2017a, MATLAB 2017b, MATLAB 2018a, MATLAB 2018b, MATLAB 2019a, MATLAB 2019b, MATLAB 2020a, MATLAB 2020b, MATLAB 2021a, MATLAB 2021b

Windows 7: support up to R2021b

Windows 8: discontinued

Windows 10: will be supported at least through R2023b

Windows 11: started with R2021b, will be supported at lest through R2023b (probably later)

For MacOS and Linux, see the chart.

The primary announcements are in the MATLAB release notes.

I am also interested in the answer to the question posed, but this doesn't really clear anything up.

Looking that the Roadmap today, only releases R2020b and later are listed. Does this mean that releases prior to that are end of life?

Are end of life dates available anywhere?

I need to comply with a requirement which says we can only use software "that a vendor has committed to support by providing regular updates or patches. The vendor must provide the future date when they will stop providing updates."

Any further light you can shed on your lifecycle policy would be appreciated.
