You may never.

One of the reasons I stopped buying Adobe products is the clandestine 
way they EOL them.

GoLive, Fireworks, LiveMotion, maybe more - all had development stop 
months or years before any public disclosure of the EOL decision.

This led many of us to buy products that were effectively already dead, 
no upgrade path and non-working just an OS update or two later.

Repeated requests from many in the user community for clarification of 
EOL status went without reply.

Not cool, preventing consumers from making informed purchasing 
decisions.  I and many others stopped doing business with them after those.

In all fairness, obviously those products I listed are very old.  Maybe 
the company's changed.

If they respond to your request for EOL clarification, I would welcome 
being wrong if they are now more forthcoming about their EOL schedules.
