Solumina: Current and Past End of Life Details

The experts at iBase-t continue to invest in additional functionality within the Solumina platform. As the needs of the industry advance, we phase out earlier versions of Solumina in order to focus our resources and support to meet the updated technology enhancements. These improvements require software companies like iBase-t to End of Life older versions of their products.

iBase-t periodically announces the End of Mainstream Support for its Software releases, and this is the End of Life (EOL) date.  After the EOL date on which Mainstream Support ends, the Extended Support shall begin.  Releases are identified by a combination of a Major or Minor identifier. By way of example, the following represents a standard version format iXYZ.A.B; within this format, a change X,Y, and/or Z represents Major release, and a change in A or B is considered a Minor release. At the point of EOL, update for that Release also terminates. In no event shall an Update include an upgrade from any G-Series product to an iSeries product.
