Hi,

I vaguely remember that the 9.2 is the last software supported on the ASA5505 model. I think the replacing model for ASA5505 is going to be ASA5506-X (or something like that). I would imagine that this device will support the newer softwares.

I don't think I have seen/found any EOL for the ASA5505 mode yet so I would imagine support for it (and related software) will still be around for some time. I could only see 8.4 software EOL/EOS notice and it seems that it will stop getting maintanance updates in the Q1 of 2016. I can't see anything for 9.2 and I would not make sense for such a new software.
