Dear all,

I would like to inform you that today ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server 9.0 was released. Additional release for automatic updates is planned after the safety period (~30 days) and will be properly announced with pre-release and release announcement.

Please find more information about release details and changelog below. 

Additionally, I would also like to announce discontinuation of product variant Server (File) Security for Microsoft Windows Server Azure Extension due to significant decrease in usage of this variant. Therefore, the support will end by the end of June 2022 and new versions will not be published under this extension.  Discontinuation is aligned with the End-of-Life of Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server V7.2 - latest version published under this Azure Extension. If you would like to continue using Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server on Virtual Machines on Azure, please follow this migration manual.
