Supported Products

Updated: May 12, 2008

 

This page outlines the support status of all versions of Cognos software. Support status of Active or Inactive indicates what type of support services are available to supported customers for a particular software version – see details below. Cognos' policy is to provide fixes only for active versions of our software, therefore we highly encourage customers to upgrade to an active software version.
