On April 10, 2012, support for IBM Maximo 6.2x, and supporting components was announced via IBM Announcement Letter #912-059.
Effective September 30, 2013, fixes, patches, and telephone support are no longer provided for Maximo 6.2x and same version components and add-ons.
We encourage you to plan now to upgrade to IBM Maximo version 7.5 and take advantage of the valuable functionality that is offered in the latest product release. Furthermore, there is a proven path to upgrade with our Maximo upgrade utility. This upgrade utility is part of the core product and therefore available to you at no cost.
