Output Management: Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 ends with Mar 2018 and extended support ends in 2020

[former_member133244]

Hello,

I've read that Adobe plans to discontinue Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11.0 ES4 in 2020. So far I'm unable to locate any documentation on LiveCycle ES4's successor. How does SAP plan to pivot to this change and how will this impact output management in S4HC?

Hi Mark

This is addressed in SAP Note 2763928

Generally, Adobe LiveCycle Designer delivered by SAP is in mainstream maintenance until 31.12.2025. But maintenance end differs for some Designer versions.

The mainstream maintenance for following Adobe LiveCycle Designer versions will end by 31.12.2020.

ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 9.0

ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 9.8

ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 10.4

We recommend to upgrade your Designer version to the most recent version before end of mainstream maintenance is reached.

The currently most recent available version of Designer ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 11.0.

For information about installation an patches, see SAP Note: 2187332

Hi Mark,

I noticed in 2763928 the statement concerning "maintenance until 31.12.2025" was deleted without explanation.

Is there any guidance on the future of Adobe LiveCycle Designer delivered by SAP?

Thanks,

AK
