easyDCP Plus and IMF Studio have evolved significantly over the past years. To focus our development and support resources on current software generations, we are ending service for easyDCP Plus and IMF Studio versions 2.X, 3.X, 4.0 and 4.1 effective October 1, 2026.
Service for easyDCP Plus and IMF Studio versions 2.X, 3.X, 4.0, and 4.1 will be discontinued. This applies to both technical support and manually processed service requests related to licensing and software usage, as well as the option to update an existing permanent license for these versions to a current version.
All self-service options available in the webshop will remain available and can continue to be used.
Yes. Your permanent license remains valid, and you can continue to use the software version covered by your license.
However, versions prior to 4.2 will no longer receive technical or service support. You will continue to have access to our Support section, where you will find FAQs, guides, and troubleshooting resources for easyDCP Plus and IMF Studio.
Please note that as operating systems and hardware continue to evolve, we cannot guarantee that these older software versions will remain compatible with future system environments.
Once service has ended, permanent licenses for versions prior to 4.2 will no longer be eligible for an update.
If you decide to move to a current version at a later date, you will need to purchase a new permanent license or choose one of our subscription plans.
Going forward, updates of permanent licenses will generally be available for licenses within the previous two major releases.
Licenses from older major releases will no longer be eligible for an update. We therefore recommend keeping your easyDCP Plus or IMF Studio license reasonably up to date if you want to retain the option to update your existing permanent license and benefit from future features and improvements.
Please find here release types here.
The provision of bonus licenses for the easyDCP Resolve Plugin as part of easyDCP license packages was discontinued in 2021 with the introduction of the new easyDCP Plus package. Existing bonus licenses remained unaffected at that time.
With the end of service for easyDCP versions prior to 4.2, existing bonus licenses will remain unaffected and can continue to be used. However, there will no longer be any entitlement to receive or request a new bonus license.
As a transition for customers still using versions 2.X, 3.X, 4.0 or 4.1, we are offering a final opportunity to update an existing permanent license until September 30, 2026.
Please see our current campaign information for details on the available update and subscription options.
