Microsoft Dynamics GP End Of Life? Not Anytime Soon
Microsoft told Community Summit North America 2022
conference-goers that the latest October 2022 release of GP 18.5 will be the
last major features update. Despite this news, Microsoft has told the community that
GP will continue to receive regulatory, tax and security and functionality
updates, and Microsoft is committed to continuing extended support for GP until
Jan 2028. Which is good news for many GP users to stay on with the ERP they
love.
What is GP Modern Lifecycle and the latest info from Microsoft:
- Since the October 2019 release, GP has
been on the Modern Lifecycle services which means the version names are no
longer being used. Any version released after GP 2018 is simply known as
Dynamics GP. This doesn't mean there won't be new versions of Dynamics GP,
but they just won't have public facing names or ‘vintages' like “GP 2018
R2” any longer.
- If you are on an older version of
Dynamics GP, like GP 2013 R2, support has been extended. See the chart
above to find out how long you can expect support.
- There will be three GP updates per
year, including tax updates, new features, and a year-end update.
Users only need to update once per year to stay current.
- All updates will contain bug
fixes.
Microsoft Dynamics GP is among
Microsoft's most resilient products. Known for its agility and adaptability, it
will likely remain a favourite solution for many years to come.
Most Microsoft
Partners who have been delivering Dynamics GP for years believe in the product
and they plan to deliver services around GP as long as it is available. If you
are a Microsoft Dynamics GP user or would like to be, you can learn more about
updates and news concerning Dynamics GP by connecting with the following
