Microsoft Dynamics GP Lifecycle and Upgrade Services
This Blog was updated on 9/4/2018 to include Microsoft Dynamics GP versions up to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018.
Microsoft has posted a Blog regarding the Lifecycle of software versions. I am posting this information for our customers along with the link to the original post (at the bottom).
For those of you that have still not upgraded hopefully this information will explain what happens when the version you are on is no longer supported.
You will see engineers make reference to Mainstream Support and Extended Support.
Here is a chart that outlines the differences between Mainstream Support and Extended Support.

Extended support for Microsoft Dynamics GP is included in the customers and partners standard support plans. Here is a link that provided more information as well on the Microsoft Dynamics GP Product Lifecycle: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Dynamics+Gp&Filter=FilterNO With the information provided above, if you are currently on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 or earlier, you will want to have a plan in place in regards to upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 or Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018. Upgrade services through Advanced Product Support Services are available for upgrades to a supported version of Microsoft Dynamics GP according to the Microsoft Product Lifecycle Policy.
For example, upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018. Note: There is not a direct upgrade from GP 2010 to GP 2018, this will require more than one upgrade.
Customers: If you have any questions regarding upgrade services, please reach out to your Partner to get the ball rolling for a service request.
