Support
Feature Release 1 and Feature Release 2 will be supported in the same manner as
other “generally available” software, either directly by Intel under a Service Level
Agreement or through an Intel Distributor. If a software issue is corrected in a later
build of System Release 6.1 cPCI for Windows, it will be distributed to customers once
testing and quality assurance on the build is completed.
Maintenance
Defects encountered in one of the feature releases will be corrected in the next
scheduled or interim version, which has undergone the same level of testing and
quality assurance as the production release. The distribution of the maintenance
releases will be determined by customer requirements. Distribution of the correction
will be as a complete replacement of the System Release.
End of Support and Maintenance
Support and maintenance for Feature Release 1 and Feature Release 2 will be
discontinued nine (9) months following the release of System Release 6.1 cPCI for
Windows. All customers using Feature Release 1 and Feature Release 2 must
migrate to System Release 6.1 cPCI for Windows (general availability version).
