The maintenance cycle of UCS 2 will end on 31st December 2013. The maintenance with bug and security fixes for the UCS 2 major branch including UCS 2.4 will thus stop. This will also affect all Univention products based on UCS 2.4, such as UCS@school 2.4, Univention Corporate Desktop (UCD) in the versions 2.4 and 3.1 and UCS Thin Client Services (UCS TCS) 3.1.
Univention Corporate Server (UCS) 2 was released six years ago on 11th December 2007. Customers still on UCS 2.4 are encouraged to upgrade to the UCS 3 branch. With UCS 3.1, customers get Linux Kernel 3.2, Univention App Center and support for Microsoft Windows 2012 and Windows 8. As to UCS@school, the version 3.1 R2 is the latest maintained version.
Customers with UCD and UCS TCS can change to Univention Corporate Client (UCC) as the successor product: Univention publishes new client system with central management.
Please contact your partner or Univention for any questions.
