Most of these are offline software programs that you can continue to use indefinitely, or physical buildings that are very expensive to run.

Not long ago I worked in a lab that was still using Microsoft Windows 95 for one workstation that was a host for a microscope that had a very expensive license tied to that specific set of hardware.

The system has worked great for decades. Data is automatically gathered via a hardware datalogger accessory that has a ethernet interface. Is there any google product with anything close to that useful lifespan?
