Preview Feature deactivation announcement.
IBM BigFix Inventory application update delivered in December 2018 
introduced the following Preview Feature: Detecting malware threats based 
on SHA-256 file checksums. See: https://ibm.biz/File_checksums.
With this communication we are announcing the deactivation of this Preview 
Feature in accordance with the Preview Features Disclaimer notice. The 
deactivation will be made effective on May 20, 2019. Deactivation of the 
feature will be transparent to your deployment as there is no action that 
is required to perform on your installation or any product update 
modification that will have to be deployed. Removal of feature will be 
done by deactivating the temporary subscription license for IBM X-Force 
Exchange that was made available in BigFix Inventory 9.2.14.
·       End of support for MS SQL 2008 and 2008 R2 database is planned for 
September 2019.
All clients who use BigFix Inventory server with MS SQL 2008 or 2008 R2 
database should migrate to newer MS SQL version that is supported by the 
product. For more information, see: https://ibm.biz/EOS_MS_SQL_2008.
