Excerpt

This article outlines the major version lifecycle policies for Mobile WMS for Business Central (Cloud and On-Prem)


Every 6-month Microsoft will release a "major" version of Business Central, also known as "Wave 1" (April) and "Wave 2" (October).

  • This lifecycle policy is based on major versions.  See more: Version numbers in Business Central
  • In practice, this only affects On-prem installations, as cloud tenants receive a new major version every 6 months

    • A supported version of Mobile WMS is always available (our two years end date is longer than needed, as cloud production servers get a new major version every 6 months)
