Does anyone know when the end of life for ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup is?

All I can find is, "ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup will be phased out alongside ArcGIS Desktop, with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 being the last version to support ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup licensing."

- ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.2 will enter mature support in March 2026.

- ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup product is not available with ArcGIS Pro.

Note: ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup allowed to create Geodatabases in SQL Express and manage then in ArcCatalog - "Add Database Server".

You can also update the ArcSDE Workgroup License in the SQL Express Geodatabase with the ArcGIS Server License File that includes the license for the ArcSDE Geodatabase.

The ArcSDE Geodatabase License is not sold separate, it is included in the ArcGIS Server License, so customers buy ArcGIS Server.

If you have questions about your license, then reach out to your Esri Account Manager.

I hope this helps.
