Dynamics SL 6.5 is no longer supported as of Apr. 12, 2011. For versions after Dynamics SL 6.5, Microsoft offers software updates and other support for approximately 10 years after a version’s release date to customers covered by the Business Ready Enhancement Plan or a similar paid support plan. Microsoft supports installations only if they are on the most recent service pack, but gives customers a grace period (currently 24 months) to move to a service pack after it has been released.

Under these policies, Dynamics SL 7.0, the predecessor to Dynamics SL 2011, will be supported until Oct. 2017, and companies should install SP3, the latest service pack for that version, before Apr. 16, 2012.
