<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">In order to provide the full benefit of the many features and enhancements added in more recent platform releases, we will be ending support for version 7.2 of the Tivoli Endpoint Manager platform, one year from the date of this announcement. Customers using version 7.2 of the platform are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version at their earliest convenience.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Please note that in addition to the many improvements in the 8.x and upcoming platform releases, many of our latest application offerings use functionality that is not compatible with 7.2 and older platform versions. Upgrading is the best way to take advantage of all of the latest product capabilities of Tivoli Endpoint Manager.</font><br>
