A product is fully supported for approximately 9 months after the release of the next version, and is in the Transition Support stage for another 9 months. Therefore, 18 months after a new release the previous release becomes unsupported. No new feature updates will be provided for products in Transition Support.
When a new product version is released, the previous version remains fully supported for a time period to allow customers to transition to the new version. This support for the previous release does NOT include updates to support new operating systems or network environments that may be released during this overlapping time. Updates for newly released environment components will only be made to the latest Pervasive release. For example, Pervasive Data Integrator v9.0 was updated to support the Salesforce.com 10.0 API, but Pervasive Integrator v8.14 was not.
