Why do I see “a reminder, starting on November 5, 2022, Zoom will enforce a minimum version policy for its Meeting and Video SDKs” while I have got a mail from Zoom saying “on August 6th, 2022, Zoom is enforcing a minimum version across all Zoom Clients”  
Why the enforecement had been applied 3 month earlier than is announced?

I’m sorry for the confusion, @meir698. The email that was sent out in August was to address the anyone was running meetings on anything less than 5.3. This was a security-related update and is different than the mandatory Quarterly Lifecycle Policy, which the November update falls under. If your app was previously running a version below 5.3, then you will have to upgrade again before November.
