Learn about IBM i 7.3 end of support date
IBM has announced that support for IBM i 7.3 will officially end on September 30, 2026. Businesses using this version should start planning their upgrade strategy to newer releases like IBM i 7.4 or 7.5 to ensure continued security, compliance, and system performance.
