IBM provides lifecyle news feeds in Really Simple Syndication (RSS) format to keep you up-to-date about lifecycle event date changes for IBM products. If you need to process or analyze the lifecycle data programmatically, we recommend that you download the lifecycle data.

We update our lifecycle data once per day. The default news feed contains all products whose lifecycle data has changed in the previous 24 hours. To subscribe to the default news feed, select the Default news feed link below and then copy or drag the URL from your browser’s address bar to your news reader.

Lifecycle policy information

IBM’s support lifecycle policy specifies how long support will be available for IBM products, from when the product is available for purchase to when it is no longer supported. You can use this site to track how long your version of a particular IBM product will be supported, allowing you to effectively plan your investment and avoid any gaps in support.
