Support Model
In the future, HP-UX HIDS customers can expect to receive maintenance/minor versions
of HP-UX HIDS, instead of individual patches for various defect fixes. HP recommends
customers to adopt the latest version to take advantage of defect fixes (for a
maintenance/minor release) and new functionality (for a major release).
The support model, in light of this approach (product versioning instead of individual
patches), is as follows: The latest maintenance/minor version is the actively supported
release. Customers using a prior major release (or any of its minor versions) will be
supported on a best-effort basis: they will be asked to adopt the latest version, especially
if a problem they are experiencing has been corrected in the latest version. Specifically,
this means that version 3.0 is now the actively supported release and all older versions
are supported on a best-effort basis.
NOTE Starting May 2005, the support for Release 1.0 of HP-UX HIDS will be discontinued. HP
recommends that all customers using HIDS Release 1.0 upgrade to Release 3.0.
