Note
-
On Feb 21, 2023, IdentityIQ 8.1 will reach its limited support date and will reach its dropped support on February 21, 2024. If you are on IdentityIQ 8.1, refer to IdentityIQ-Server-Software to learn more about the upgrading processes. To know the status of the supported version, refer to the IdentityIQ End of Life policy.
-
All patches are cumulative, so the latest incremented patch includes all changes from previously released patches for a major release.
Architecture of every new feature is planned in such a way that existing features work as-is. SailPoint suggests that you always have the latest version, however, upgrading is not mandatory unless called out. Versions can be skipped and can be upgraded to the latest version without going through each individual upgrade.
