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: 

1. 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.  
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
