AIX support lifecycle information

Product Lifecycle


Abstract

Lists key dates for AIX Technology Levels (TLs).

Content

End of Fix Support (EoFS) is the end of the maintenance period for a TL.  Fix Packs, Service Packs (SPs), and interim fixes will not be created for a TL after the EoFS.

Latest SP is the original availability date for the most recent Service Pack for the given TL.

Next SP is the target availability date for the next Service Pack for the given TL.  After the final service pack for a TL is available, further fixes for the TL are provided as interim fixes.

NOTE: This page does not indicate the End of Service (EOS) date for an AIX release unless that date has passed. AIX EOS dates are listed on the IBM Software Lifecycle page.
