Solution
Technology evolution, market demand, and component obsolescence dictate the lifecycle of a given NI hardware product. NI uses several internal processes to track these factors and manage the lifecycle of NI hardware products. All the information regarding the meaning of each hardware status that NI defines can be found in the
Hardware Product Lifecycle Policies documentation.
Unless the hardware product shop page does not say otherwise, you can safely assume that the product is in the
Active phase of its life cycle. If you would like to get any additional information regarding the expected times for each of the product phases (i.e. when the Last Time to Buy - LTB is expected) NI recommends contacting
NI Support. NI will be able to provide estimated times for each phase according to the current plans for each product.
