Discontinued Support

The table below lists Genesys announced global end of support dates for various operating platforms or versions.

• This is provided as a reference for planning migration onto newer versions or other platforms.
• Global end of support (EOS) means end of all support for all Genesys products and all releases, including current and past releases.
• For individual products:
  • Support may end for a product starting with a specific release, prior to the end of all support date. This will be indicated in the SOE product tables by a release range (for example, 8.0 – 8.5), instead of the open-ended “+” sign. Versions within the range will still be supported until the global end of support date.
  • Support may extend beyond the Genesys EOS date listed in the table. Check the associated product SOE page to determine what's still supported.
• Genesys global end of support dates are based on Genesys product lifecycle needs, they may not necessarily align with the platform vendor’s end of support dates.
• If a version older than the listed discontinued version is not in the table, assume that support for the older version has been discontinued also at some prior date. (For example, Solaris 9 is listed, so Solaris 8 and any prior Solaris versions are no longer supported either.)
• Global end of support announcements are provided via Genesys customer newsletters only. Customer newsletters are available through the Genesys Customer Care portal.
