App-VEnd of Life
App-V has not been actively developed for years, with Microsoft retiring App-V Full Infrastructure on April 14, 2026. You need a solution that can extend the life of your existing App-V packages and serve as a long-term packaging replacement without sacrificing functionality or performance.
