Cognos Supported Products

Product Documentation


Abstract

This page outlines the support status of all versions of Cognos software released before 2009. 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.

Service Request Status - For product releases which have a Product Status of Inactive, this column indicates the date at which we will stop accepting customer calls for the release.

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