Support Model
In the future, HP-UX HIDS customers can expect to receive maintenance releases and minor
releases of HP-UX HIDS, instead of individual patches for various defect fixes. HP
recommends that customers adopt the latest version to take advantage of defect fixes (for a
maintenance and minor release) and new functionality (for a major release).
The support model, in light of this approach (product releases instead of individual patches) is
as follows: The latest maintenance or minor release 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 release, especially if a problem they are
experiencing has been corrected in the latest release. Specifically, this means that Release 3.1
is now the actively supported release and all previous releases are supported on a best-effort
basis.
NOTE Effective June 1, 2005, 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 3.1.
