Summary
Reference
Micro Focus is announcing a License Exchange Program for JobCenter. Effective April 6, 2018 Micro Focus is introducing the new version 15.01 of JobCenter. JobCenter is an OEM product from our partner NEC and in this new version, NEC simplified the license structure from tier-based licensing to OSI-based licensing. As a result, all customers that want to go to JobCenter 15.01, will need to have their contracts updated and licenses exchanged.
All JobCenter customers with an active support contract are eligible to update to JobCenter 15.01. The End of Committed Support, End of Extended Support and End of Self-Help Support with Rights to New Versions dates are published on Software Support Online.
