i don't know those dates and don't think it matters.

what matters is if you can continue to install and activate those programs and that answer depends on whether you have the installation files and have a compatible os and whether activation is needed.

for ps: not available.

for dw: Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

for lr:

Downloadable installation files available:

• Suites and Programs:  CC 2015 | CC 2014 | CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4, CS4 Web Standard | CS3
• Acrobat:  DC, XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard
• Premiere Elements:  13 | 12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac
• Photoshop Elements:  13 |12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac
• Lightroom:  6| 5.7.1| 5 | 4 | 3

Download and installation help for Adobe links

Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

Thanks for the advice kglad Unfortunately, my IT dept is pressing for the info...I don't even know where to start looking for such details. Sobb...

tell them adobe doesn't announce those dates.

adobe only supports current releases and puts no work into making sure non-current releases continue to work with, for example, the latest os'es.   and when they'll pull the plug on activation servers needed for most older versions may be known to some within adobe but i'm sure they're subject to nda's so they couldn't tell you even if you found someone that knew.

the only info (which may or may not be relevant) is the experience with cs2: 

adobe closed the activation servers for as2 2.5 years ago.  anything cs2 that was installed and activated before the servers were deactivated continued to work, but it was not possible to activate (and therefore use beyond a trial period of 30 days) cs2 (and some other programs). so people trying to reinstall and use cs2 on newer (or older reformatted) computers, were unable to do so

some few months after that adobe made most of those programs available in a form that did not need activation so cs2 users could continue to use adobe's cs2 programs.

whether they'll do that in the future is not public info.
