Bp VIP.net sunset versions

Best Practice Software regularly provide new releases of our software, so that you have the latest mandated regulatory requirements and a range of software improvements covering security features, fixes to known issues, and new software features. However, regular software releases present an increasing challenging to our Support team to continue supporting customers using older versions of Bp VIP.net.

Best Practice Software begun 'sunsetting', or ceasing support, for older versions of Bp VIP.net in early 2019. When a new version of Bp VIP.net is released, Best Practice Software will provide notice in the release notes that support will be reduced for the second-most-recent release (or 'n-2') from that date, allowing users on or older versions time to upgrade.

The following table provides a schedule of current and future sunset versions and dates.
