Key program dates listed below for Service Manager 9.3x are based on the time based support lifecycle process under which end of support dates are announced as new product versions are released.

We have an Upgrade Factory that can provide initial upgrade assessment to qualified customers at no additional cost. While this service is dependent on our resource availability, we would encourage you to consider having this assessment done to ease your upgrade effort. If you are interested in seeing if you qualify for this free assessment, you can send an email to sm-upgrade@microfocus.com. Further, our team can offer guidance for your transition to SMAX when you contact SMA Evolution Help at sma.evolution.help@microfocus.com.
