Announcements of IBM® WebSphere Application Server V5.0 end of service date:
The two preceding announcements stated that IBM will withdraw support for releases of IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 on 30 September 2006.

To see the entire list of End of Support dates for all IBM WebSphere Application Server products, see the IBM Software Support Lifecycle page.

Support Extension Offering, if necessary:
IBM WebSphere Application Server recognizes that there might be unique situations where a Client is not able to migrate to a supported product version prior to an End of Support date. IBM WebSphere Application Server may, at its discretion, extend Level 2 and defect support for a withdrawn release. Extended support for a product will be considered and provided on an individual Client basis. Instructions on how to formally request a support extension are as follows:
  • In the United States, call 1-888-426-4343 or send an email with your support extension request to express@us.ibm.com

  • In the United Kingdom, call 0870 010 2526

  • In France, send email with your support extension request to: support_ibm@fr.ibm.com

  • In all other countries, clients may request a support extension by contacting their local IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) (formerly known as the Information Technology Services (ITS) representative).

    If you do not know who your GTS/ITS representative is, this is a starting point: http://www.ibm.com/planetwide/ (the IBM Directory of worldwide contacts by Geography).
