  • 1.  Now the license shows Perpetual, how about the support?

    Now the license of UIM is showing Perpetual. But How about the support?  How could I know when my support will expired or it will not expire either.  Please advise.

    Thanks,

    That is a draw back of the new license. You'll have to check with your sales rep. Unless someone knows a different way to check without a license files now.

    but if it means the system will not expired. The date in the license only means the support?

    Licensing was removed from UIM, and perpetual licenses were provided for those using older versions. This has nothing to do with getting support, and the ability to get support is based on two things: 1 is there an active support contract  2 is the version still supported.

    we are using 20.1.  is it a old system?  or because of the IM version?

    20.1 has licensing disabled and is supported until Sep. of 2021. 
    So the remaining criteria is the support maintenance contract. 
    As Gregg mentioned that can be checked with your account manager.
