SUPPORTED RELEASES
The following matrix provides information on the supported Commercial
Systems MPE/iX Releases. It lists the currently supported releases and
the SPUs that are supported. The matrix also provides all known factory
support termination dates. When a release becomes unsupported, the
factory does not provide any support services for that release. Online
calls are not accepted, and patches are not created; customers are
advised to roll to a supported release.
The support life of a release is dependent on its distribution type.
Releases that are distributed to the entire MPE/iX installed base (full
Push) are supported for 24 months, or 12 months following the full Push
release, whichever is longer.
Releases that are not distributed to the entire MPE/iX installed base are
supported for 12 months, or 3 months following the full Push release,
whichever is longer.
