Is AbacusLaw being discontinued?

No dated end-of-life has been published, but AbacusLaw is maintained as a legacy product: the release line appears frozen on the v23.x branch, and CARET markets migrations to its CARET Legal cloud product. The database engine underneath (SAP Advantage) ended its own mainstream maintenance in December 2022.
