VBScript 3-Phase Removal
Microsoft is removing VBScript in three phases: deprecated in 24H2 (2024), disabled by default in 2025, and completely removed by 2027. Every ASP Classic page and VBS script file is on a countdown clock.
⚠ CRITICAL: VBScript 3-phase removal: deprecated (2024), disabled by default (2025), removed (2027). VB6 IDE unsupported since 2008. Get Your Free Risk Assessment →
Organizations spend 70-80% of IT budgets maintaining legacy systems—that's up to $30 million annually for large enterprises. VB6's IDE hasn't been supported since 2008. VBScript is being removed from Windows by 2027. When your mission-critical VB6 application or ASP Classic website needs help, you need a team that combines AI-powered analysis with deep Microsoft legacy expertise.
ASP Classic migration is the process of converting legacy Active Server Pages (ASP) web applications written in VBScript to modern frameworks like ASP.NET Core. VB6 migration involves modernizing Visual Basic 6 desktop applications to C#/.NET. These migrations are critical because:
Key dates: VB6 IDE extended support ended (2008) | VBScript deprecated Windows 11 24H2 (2024) | VBScript disabled by default (2025) | VBScript removed (2027)
Most organizations don't realize their VBScript, VBA, and COM-based applications are sitting on a disaster until it's too late. Here's what's silently destroying your business right now.

OWASP warns legacy systems lack modern security controls. The UK NCSC recommends retiring unsupported software. Your legacy apps likely have SQL injection, XSS, and authentication vulnerabilities that can't be patched.
VB6 apps are 32-bit only—no 64-bit migration path. They can't integrate with modern REST APIs or cloud services. Access databases hit the 2GB limit and lack proper ACID transactions.
Only 7% of organizations can find VB6 skills in-house. 74% must outsource legacy maintenance. Stack Overflow ranks VB6 as the "most dreaded" language. Original developers have retired.
CVE-2021-26414 forced Microsoft's hand. DCOM hardening is now mandatory. Your legacy COM+ components using anonymous authentication? They stopped working in March 2023.
Organizations spend 70-80% of IT budgets on legacy maintenance—up to $30M/year for large enterprises. 69% of IT leaders say technical debt limits their ability to innovate.

Common questions about ASP Classic migration, VB6 modernization, and VBScript deprecation
Because Microsoft is phasing out the technologies you depend on. VBScript follows a 3-phase removal: deprecated in 24H2 (2024), disabled by default (2025), completely removed (2027). The VB6 IDE hasn't been supported since 2008. Classic ASP's future is tied to IIS support.
While the VB6 runtime is still officially supported on Windows 11, 69% of IT leaders say technical debt is limiting their ability to innovate. Only 7% of organizations can find VB6 skills in-house—the rest must outsource at premium rates.
Wait for what? VBScript has a hard removal date in 2027. Classic ASP's future depends on IIS support in future Windows Server versions. Organizations spend 70-80% of IT budgets on legacy maintenance—that's up to $30 million annually for large enterprises.
The cost of emergency recovery when your system fails is 10x the cost of planned modernization. Studies show companies that modernize see 14% reduction in IT costs and improved agility. Technical debt only accumulates—it doesn't fix itself.
You're not alone — 40% of VB systems have missing source code. Our specialists excel at reverse engineering legacy applications, documenting business logic, and creating maintainable replacements.
