IBM Cognos Supported Products

 Product documentation
 
Abstract
This page lists IBM Cognos products released prior to 2009. For products release in 2009 and later, please see the Information Management Product Support Lifecycle at http://www.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/ .


This page outlines the support status of all versions of Cognos software. Support status of Active or Inactive indicates what type of support services are available to supported customers for a particular software version – see details below. Cognos' policy is to provide fixes only for active versions of our software, therefore we highly encourage customers to upgrade to an active software version.

Please note that this page applies to both English and localized versions of Cognos products unless otherwise noted.
