Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis article is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Actions), how do I… series, a sub-series of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

End of Life for Microsoft Dynamics GP Announced

Microsoft Dynamics GPIn an announcement which cannot be a surprise to anyone, Microsoft have announced that Microsoft Dynamics GP is coming to the end of it’s life.

Today, we’re announcing we will end product support and updates for Dynamics GP on the 30th of September 2029 (with security patches ending on the 30th of April 2031).
