Predicting 7.4's End of Program Support.

  • 1.  Predicting 7.4's End of Program Support.

    Posted Tue August 19, 2025 02:14 PM

    I'm predicting IBM announces End of Program Support for IBM i 7.4 within 45 days.  They'll give you one years notice so I'm predicting it will take effect 2026-09-30.

    Now you'll need to decide to either upgrade, pay extra for extended service, or whatever.
    Something to think about as budget time approaches.
    Prediction based off of:
    IBM sent multiple updates today about this page so I'm guessing the runner is getting into the starting blocks.  
    Didn't make the usual Tuesday morning announcement though.
