    EOL/EOS 
  • Current product support includes product releases for the last two major releases or the last two years. Defects or other resolved issues may be backported/patched or supported at Dorado Software’s discretion if they are within the last two major releases or two-year time frame. Prior releases are considered EOL/EOS and may be supported at Dorado's discretion; however, defects or access to new features will generally require an upgrade to a supported version.   

Please refer to the Upgrade Path Matrix in this document for specific information on your upgrade path.   Please be aware that some releases had very specific instructions required for upgrade. Refer the release notes for the specific release for guidance. For example the 10.0.3 release had critical step required for successful upgrade to 10.0.3.
