I'm trying to find out how long Navision version 3.70A will be supported. I can't find it anywhare on the Microsoft website. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

3.70A is no longer supported, which is why you can't find this out.

Service Pack Support Policy[/b]
When a new service pack is released, Microsoft will provide either 12 or 24 months of support for the previous service pack
Support for the previous service packs is either 12 or 24 months, varying according to the product family (for example, Windows, Office, Servers, or Developer tools)
Support timelines for service packs will remain consistent within the product family
Microsoft will publish specific support timelines for a previous service pack when the new service pack is released
When support for a product ends, support of the service packs for that product will also end. The product’s support lifecycle supersedes the service pack support policy

24 months refers only to Windows OS- 12 months for everything else

Thank you both for solving the mystery. I guess we'd better upgrade!

It depends, you have to ask yourself...
does the system work the way you want to?
are you having constant issues?
do you have the money to upgrade?
etc?

We use that version too and it does everything we need (right now)
when it doesn't, that's when we'll look into upgrading.

the link shows -mainstream retirement on 11/12/2006.
you made it all this time without MS support.

PS just because MS support is over does not mean your NSC has stopped supporting you.
If you pay the will come.

ALso you can run 3.70B executables on that license, there were a lot of things fixed in that "B" service pack that you might look at.

Though maybe as Harry suggests; "if it ain't broe don't fix it".
