The fate of Forecaster.....

I've been having issues installing and setting up Forecaster and just found this bit of info on Microsoft's lifecycle site.


It appears that mainstream support has ended so should I be investing anymore time in it. Can someone verify this for me that it is in fact not supported anymore.

    For clients using Forecaster in concert with Dynamics ERP products...

    Forecaster support ends on the date indicated unless distributed as a Component of a Dynamics product. When distributed with a Dynamics product, the Dynamics lifecycle dates override the Forecaster date.

    That being said, while I still have a few customers on Forecaster, I have started moving them to Adaptive Planning - and I am no long recommending Forecaster for new implementations.

    You may have noticed Microsoft returning some products to their original creators.  Problem is, Microsoft owns FRx/Forecaster, and just supplanted FRx with Management Reporter.  The future of Forecaster is bleak.

    To me it seems that now since it's included in your license it was thrown in as an added bonus or "freebie" because they didn't know what to do with it since support has ended and it holds no monetary value as an add-on.
