Not immediately. While Microsoft is no longer prioritizing new features for Dynamics GP, the system is still supported under its Modern Lifecycle Policy (for newer versions) and Fixed Lifecycle Policy (for older versions). However, Microsoft has set firm dates for the end of sales and support, signaling a long-term phase-out of the product.

End-of-life does not mean your GP system will stop working. However, it does mean:

• Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, regulatory changes, or hotfixes

• New feature development has stopped

• Compatibility with newer Microsoft technologies (e.g., Windows or Office) may degrade over time

• Technical support may become harder to find

Yes—if you’re on a supported version. Dynamics GP is still eligible for:

• Regulatory (tax) updates

• Security fixes (Modern Lifecycle versions)

• Self-help support content from Microsoft’s knowledge base

All versions of Dynamics GP are impacted by the support phase-out, but the specific timing depends on your version. For example:

• Dynamics GP 2018 R2 follows the Fixed Lifecycle Policy, ending mainstream support in 2028

• Versions following the Modern Lifecycle Policy require regular updates to remain supported

If you're using perpetual licensing, yes—for now. However:

• Microsoft will stop selling subscription-based licenses on April 1, 2026

• You can still add modules or users under the perpetual model until further notice

It's best to confirm licensing availability with your partner (like WebSan) before planning expansions.

Yes. Your GP environment will continue to function. But without Microsoft support, you're exposed to risks such as:

• Lack of security updates

• No compatibility guarantees with newer systems

• Potential non-compliance with tax or financial regulations

Regular system backups and strong partner support become even more important in this stage.

Yes, but only for systems enrolled in Microsoft’s Modern Lifecycle. These updates include:

• Tax table updates

• Security fixes

• Year-end changes

If you’re not regularly applying updates, you could fall out of support eligibility even before 2028.

That depends on your long-term plans. If you intend to continue using GP for the next several years:

• Customizations can still add value

• Many ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) still support GP

• However, it’s important to ensure future compatibility and support availability

Discuss your plans with your partner to make informed decisions.

Microsoft has confirmed that Service Plans for Dynamics GP will not be available beyond April 30, 2031. Benefits tied to these plans, such as upgrade rights and incident support, will end alongside product support.

It’s completely normal to feel unsure right now. Microsoft has laid out a clear roadmap, and businesses have time to make thoughtful decisions. WebSan can help you:

• Evaluate how long GP will remain viable for your business

• Identify risks associated with staying on the platform

• Review your current setup to maximize stability and longevity

You don’t have to make a decision today—but you should start the conversation.
