Product Lifecycle Policy

Overview

GG-One Software strives to continually innovate and evolve its solutions, providing customers with richer functionality and more robust products. As part of this ongoing evolution, certain GG-One Software products, including software lines, will reach the end of their lives. Our goal is to provide straightforward product lifecycle policies that help customers better design, deploy, and manage their IT investments and upgrades. ​ This article outlines GG-One Software's lifecycle policy for its products.​

Product Lifecycle Policy

A GG-One Software product is: Any good or service produced or provided by GG-One Software. ​ The following policy items apply to all GG-One Software products, including both On-Premise or cloud based:

  • GG-One Software may choose to announce the end-of-sale and end-of-support dates for its products at any time.

  • GG-One Software works with its customers to ensure continuity of business when announcing the end-of-sale or end-of-support dates for its products.

  • Notifications and reminders to customers for end-of-support begin approximately 6 months prior to the end-of-support date.

Software Lifecycle Policy

The following policy items apply to GG-One Software's software products:

  • GG-One Software supports the two most current major software versions of its software.

  • The end-of-sale and end-of-support dates for existing major software versions coincide with the release of a new major software version.

  • Customers with annual licenses (or other licenses with current maintenance contracts) are offered a software upgrade to a current supported version.

  • When a major software version reaches end-of-support, access to GG-One Software customer support, patches, bug fixes, and maintenance contracts are no longer available. Customers may upgrade their software prior to the end-of-support date in order to continue to receive uninterrupted support.
