Expired Version Support

We generally releases one major version of the software per year. Our product life-cycle is maintained so that versions are supported two years back. Code fixes are performed on product versions released 12 months prior. From time to time, certain features and/or functions in the product may be obsolete. This page will list these areas, for your convenience. Be sure to check in periodically for visibility into future versions we are working on.
