Maconomy Components

This section shows planned support of legacy Maconomy components.

To ensure that we focus on enabling Customer and Partner success, we occasionally discontinue support of legacy product components. As we do so, we take steps to limit disadvantage and provide a smooth migration to replacement functionality.

Maintenance Support and Sustaining Support dates do not apply to existing versions of Maconomy, where contractual "end-of-life" terms apply.

Note: If not otherwise specified, the Sustaining support is only valid from the specific version listed in Sustaining Support column.

Material updated for this release is placed at the top of the table below, in blue background.

With Maconomy 2.3.1, 2.2.5, and 2.4 LA2 and forward, you are required to also upgrade to BO 4.2 SP3 Patch 2. New clients using these versions or forward must install 4.2 by default.
