For each version of IFS Applications, IFS defines the combinations of products and product versions that constitute the supported platforms.
IFS will test and support new versions of products for use with IFS Applications. New product versions are tested and supported for the latest version of IFS Applications and, at the discretion of IFS, for previous versions.
To help customers and partners make informed decisions regarding what platforms to use, IFS has published a supported platforms policy which indicates how and how fast IFS will typically act in regards to supporting of new platforms and 3rd party product version. The information in the supported platforms policy is just a description of IFS typical behavior and is in no way to be interpreted as a commitment.
