End of version support

When a version of BMC Discovery reaches the "End of version support" stage, it means that you can access most technical documentation, known resolutions and workarounds, existing patches and Service Packs, and BMC support communities will remain available where applicable. However, no new sustaining maintenance releases, enhancements, patches, or hotfixes will be made to that version or release. BMC Customer Support recommends upgrading to a more current version, release, or service pack of the product.
