In case you forgot, Microsoft will end product support for some older versions of .Net Framework on Jan. 12, 2016.
This means .Net Framework 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 will no longer receive security patches and other updates in January. Organizations using .Net Framework versions 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 don’t have to worry as they are not affected.
Organizations should upgrade their applications to 4.5.2, 4.6, or 4.6.1, as otherwise their applications could be at risk for attackers targeting vulnerabilities in the framework. Don’t forget to check the version of .Net Framework installed on Azure and other cloud service deployments. The Azure team will be making updated images available with the .Net Framework 4.5.2 for guest OS families 2.x, 3.x and 4.x, in order to support apps deployed to Azure. The updated images are already available, and will be available for automatic deployment in January.
