What's the EOL Date for Version 9 SR1 please?

[jlsmith]

Service releases are considered part of the major or minor release for lifecycle support purposes so it would be 31 December 2013 for 9.0 SR1.

Hello On partner zone is available document which describe end of life dates to 7.6.1, adn 7.6.2. How long do you will support 7.6.3? Could you update doc in partner zone?

[jlsmith]

Greg, thanks for bringing that to my attention. The dates in that document are incorrect for 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 and the document will be updated. The correct document is located here: http://www.metastorm.com/partners/psecure/prod.asp

The Metastorm Product Lifecycle Guidelines, available on the same web page, state "Maintenance releases will only be issued for the most recent major or minor release of a product and are considered part of the major or minor release for lifecycle support purposes." This means that MBPM 7.6.1, 7.6.2, and 7.6.3, which are all maintenance releases for 7.6, will have the same end of support date as version 7.6, which is 31 May 2012.

Could you correct the document please. There is end of life for Metastorm v7.6 the 31May 2013. Or can you send me a document link from the OpenText Knowledge center. I cannot find it there.
