&lt;p&gt;MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 4) is the final release of the V8i versions as noted in the &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/3164.history-of-microstation"&gt;History of MicroStation&lt;/a&gt; wiki page. Also, here are the &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/31444.operating-systems-supported-by-microstation-versions"&gt;Operating Systems Supported by MicroStation Versions&lt;/a&gt; which includes the latest releases for V8i and CONNECT. Bentley always go by the versions of Windows that Microsoft is still supporting so the page David provided for &lt;a href="/products/w/products__wiki/5205.bentley-product-support"&gt;Bentley Product Support&lt;/a&gt; shows that if your are using MicroStation on Windows XP or Vista, which support has been deprecated by Microsoft, it is no longer being supported by Bentley. A link was also provided on this page to &lt;a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/lifecycle?LN=en-us&amp;amp;x=17&amp;amp;y=9#tab1"&gt;Microsoft&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;Lifecycle Policy&lt;/a&gt; which you might find of interest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Official End of life date, end of support date, and potential endof extended support dates for v8i</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/391103?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2016 09:23:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e07bb030-300f-439a-b1bd-797dba982cbd</guid><dc:creator>Jean-Charles Oualid</dc:creator><description>Thanks for this already, but it only addresses partially the question by displaying the currently supported version: question is also about when the  V8i will be end of life, and until when it will be supported and supported with extended support ?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Official End of life date, end of support date, and potential endof extended support dates for v8i</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/390975?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:07:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0878bbd1-e19c-45e6-8918-fe1fc132321c</guid><dc:creator>David Trejo-Rodriguez</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can refer to the following:&lt;/p&gt;
