Software end-of-support dates
With the high quality and reliability of the current OS/400 software releases,
OS/400 users may not recognize the importance of periodic upgrading to stay on
a supported release. Every release of OS/400 has a finite support period. After
the end of that support period, IBM no longer accepts problems for defect
analysis.
The following table lists the dates OS/400 and associated licensed programs that
were withdrawn from marketing and program support.
