Dynamics AX Overview

Dynamics AX 2009 will leave Mainstream support Apr. 14, 2015, rather than on Oct. 8, 2013, as originally planned, and Dynamics AX will receive multiple updates in 2014. The Dynamics AX unit hopes to deliver updates on a more predictable schedule than in the past, shipping new features or new versions at least once a year. The unit also plans minor enhancements and bug fixes through cumulative updates (not shown) at least twice a year. Shown here are important upcoming support dates for recent versions of Dynamics AX.

New Dynamics AX features and modules generally work only with Dynamics AX 2012 or later versions. Also, Dynamics AX 2012 deprecates several technologies that are important in Dynamics AX 4.0 and 2009: The technologies are still available but not recommended for further use and slated for removal in future versions. Expertise and third-party code for the deprecated technologies will gradually dry up, which could make Dynamics AX 4.0 and 2009 installations harder to maintain over time.
