Decisions around invoking the "Extension of Support Periods" clause of the Release-based Support Policy <http://www.bmc.com/support/prod-supp-policy-release-based.html> have yet to be finalized.
For 8.0.00, it falls under the Time-based Support Policy<http://www.bmc.com/support/prod-support-policy-time-based.html> and thus its support policy is unaffected. -David J.

So does it mean that with 8.1 all Versions up to 7.6.3 will be Out of Support and the Versions in Support will be 7.6.4, 8.0.0 and 8.1.0 Thanks. Regards Rüdiger ________________________________ From: Easter, David <[email protected]>; To: <[email protected]>; Subject: 8.0.0 SP1 now 8.1.00 - deferred to CY2013 Sent: Tue, Dec 4, 2012 4:58:02 PM Hi All, For those that hadn't yet figured it out, 8.0.0 SP1 was not released as originally planned in November. Wanted to informally let everyone know that the content that was in 8.0.0 SP1 has been reclassified as a minor release, 8.1.00. With the change in classification, the release will go through a short release validation cycle and has been delayed out to 1HCY2013. This version change applies to ITSM Suite applications, AR System and Atrium Core. I can't further comment on the content in a public forum, but for those that attended WWRUG2012 and saw my presentation, it's that content still. As you're probably seen, patches are being released against 8.0.00 to address critical defects in the short term. -David J.
