17 de dezembro de 2024 – Data Innovations® (DI) is providing advanced notice of product changes for Instrument Manager (IM).

IM version 8.17.00, its minor and patch releases will reach End of Sale (EoS) and End of Maintenance (EoM) on 1 de janeiro de 2026, and will reach End of Life (EoL) on 1 de janeiro de 2027.

Previously Announced: As versões 8.16.20 e anteriores do IM atingirão o fim da vida útil (End of Life [EoL]) em 1 de janeiro de 2026.

Como isso afeta a sua organização?

IM version 8,17 and older are considered legacy versions because they were originally developed and validated on components that are no longer supported or maintained. It is important for you to plan an upgrade from your current IM version to the most current IM version available. If your site is using legacy IM versions, you likely have outdated hardware, operating systems, and databases. While IM is a very stable product, legacy versions do not receive enhancements or cybersecurity updates and are more difficult to troubleshoot, maintain and support. Therefore, legacy versions carry a greater cybersecurity risk for your organization.

There is no additional cost for software to upgrade to your IM system if you have a valid Maintenance and Support agreement with DI. We want our customers to have the best experience with IM, which is why we encourage you to take advantage of our newest version.
