# Manage lifecycles

Lifecycle information helps you track important dates such as end of sale, end of support, and milestone dates across your hardware and software assets. By monitoring these details, you can anticipate upcoming support expirations, plan timely upgrades, and reduce security or compliance risks.

You can access all lifecycle data using one of two methods: either view all lifecycle information for an individual asset, or get an overview of lifecycle information across your entire environment.

## View lifecycle information for an individual asset

To check the lifecycle status of a specific asset, such as a particular device or operating system installation:

1. In your site, go to **Assets** > **Views**.
2. Find the asset you want to inspect. You can use the search, filters, or existing views to find it.
3. Go to the asset details page.
4. Select **Risk insights**.
5. Select **Lifecycle** to view the asset’s lifecycle data.

## View lifecycle information for all assets

To get a comprehensive overview of lifecycle data across your organization and identify assets approaching important milestones:

1. In your site, go to **Risk insights**.
2. Depending on the data you want to view, select a lifecycle view:
  - **Hardware lifecycle**: displays information on hardware assets, including **Model** and **Manufacturer**.
  - **OS lifecycle**: displays operating system information, including **OS** and **Assets**.

Each lifecycle view includes key fields such as **End of Sale**, **End of Support**, and **Milestone date**, so you can quickly identify assets that require priority attention.

The **Milestone date** field displays the most relevant date based on the asset's current stage.
