The current version of EnterpriseLink is EnterpriseLink 5.0.

The preceding is a list of Micro Focus EnterpriseLink products and their associated withdrawal schedules. The withdrawal process starts on the 'Product Sundown Start Date' and ends on the 'End of Service Date'. End of Service is the stage at which no further patches or corrective fixes will be created by the Micro Focus engineering team. Advice and avoidance information is all that is available beyond the End of Service date. This information is being provided to you for future planning purposes. Many of the 'End of Service' products can still be ordered, but they will be subject to the engineering restrictions previously mentioned. You will still be able to contact Micro Focus SupportLine for assistance with these products, but any product defects you report will only be addressed in the currently supported version of that product, or its successor. Where applicable, the successor product or next version is given. 

Any products not listed or versions earlier than those detailed here have already been withdrawn, but you still have the ability to contact Micro Focus technical support with issues related to those earlier product versions.

Although Micro Focus endeavors to ensure all successor products offer upward compatibility from previously released products, this can not be 100% guaranteed. As such, it is strongly recommended that you schedule appropriate time in your migration plan to investigate any potential compatibility issues that may arise.  The recommended upgrade version is indicated as 'Upgrade To' column of the table.

You may be able to purchase an 'Extended Support Contract' for your earlier product versions. Contact Micro Focus sales for more information.
