How does Avaya support customers on IP Office Release 6.0 with a bug, assuming that the current release is Release 7.0?
Avaya policy is to support customers and deliver service packs for every supported (N and N-1) release. Assuming the current release is Release 7.0 (N) that means Release 6.1 is the supported N-1 release. Customers with Release 6.0 will be asked to upgrade to a supported release (either R6.1 or R7.0).
