Tablets and Google Play for Education End of Life Policy

Overview

Tablets with Google Play for Education receive automatic updates regularly that enhance both the device itself and software on the device. However, advances in hardware and technology eventually make devices out-of-date, and as time goes by, we cannot indefinitely ensure that older tablets will continue to support device setup or the ability to receive content from Google Play for Education. This document provides advanced notice of the End of Life date for specific Google Play for Education approved tablets, and is currently applicable only to customers of tablets with Google Play for Education customers.
