This is totally me just being naive, I don’t work in the software realm but do have an interest possibly one day, but if we have stuff that’s been able to run (seemingly) successfully for years, or maybe even decade, what maintenance needs to even be done on old programs? Is this simply for people discovering security vulnerabilities and patching them? Is there more to it than that?
In: Technology
They need to make it work with new hardware, new versions of the operating system, other software,…
They need to patch newly discovered vulnabirities
And from time to time they need to add new functionality
