Abstract
Organizations would like to know when the 8.5.x versions of IBM Lotus Notes, IBM Lotus Domino, IBM Lotus Enterprise Integrator for Domino (LEI), and related products will reach End of Service/Support (EOS).
Content
The EOS date for these products has not been planned. Based on IBM's commitment outlined at the IBM Software Support Lifecyle Policy, 8.5.x versions of Notes, Domino, LEI, and related products will not reach EOS before September 2016.
Any official EOS date for 8.5.x will be announced a minimum of 12 months prior to an EOS date. Going forward we intend to provide support for the current version and two previous versions. The following excerpt provides more detail on the initiative as detailed on the Lifecycle page.
"One of our new initiatives will be to support, on a going-forward basis for select IBM branded products that have not previously announced an EOS date, not only the ‘current’ version of the product, but also up to two previous versions, in an effort to limit disruptive technology transitions. In this context, a ‘version’ is a major functional enhancement level."
