End of Support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

[wombatch]

On January 10th, 2023 Cisco ended support for the Umbrella Enterprise Roaming Client (standalone), and Umbrella Roaming Security Module for AnyConnect running on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. This date coincides with Microsoft's end of Extended Security Updates for Windows 7, and End of Support for Windows 8.1.

We have not made changes that would break installations on these operating systems as of this date. However, future changes to Umbrella may cause these clients to break without notice. We strongly recommend moving to a newer version of Windows.

Note: AnyConnect VPN support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 is not affected by this change. Please see AnyConnect VPN and Cisco Secure Client release notes for more information:
