End of life of different MicroStation CONNECT Edition Updates

Not sure exactly what you're requesting in relation to "end of life" for these versions of MicroStation CONNECT Edition.

Under the current Desktop Applications Support Policy all CONNECT versions currently have Continuous Support.

I do not believe Bentley management have made any decisions about whether any of these recent versions would have an "end of life" date defined.

Hi Charaf,

I think that the assumption is that you will always upgrade your Microstation to the next update whenever it comes out.  IE You're using Microstation CE, and the update date number just says if you're up to date, or you still need to apply the latest update. 

I still open Microstation 7/J on (rare) occasion. The main issue that I have is the licensing is no longer available (or worth the effort) for Microstation J, so I have the time limit.  Any version of Microstation CE will continue to work as long as nothing changes (hardware, software, dwg version) and the licensing method is operational.

If you need support, the answer may be "it works this way in the latest version, so you need to update..."
