Changes to Ready Pay by HR3 supported SQL Versions
To maintain the highest level of service and security, we are moving to better align with Microsoft’s lifecycle policy and will be updating the SQL versions we will support moving forward.
- This year: We will be discontinuing support for SQL Server 2012 SP4 and 2014 SP3.
- Next year: Our support will be withdrawn for SQL Server 2016 SP3 and 2017.
These changes will apply to releases that occur after 1 August each year.
What does this mean for you?
If you are an on-premise customer, you will need to engage with your own IT professionals to determine the support necessary to ensure a seamless transition for you.
For those who are utilising the versions SQL Server 2012 SP4. 2014 SP3, 2016 SP3, or 2017 SP3, it’s important to note that remaining with older SQL versions would require you to upgrade your SQL hardware. Please note that this may come with significant cost implications with your hardware provider.
