End of Life for Sage500 2016 version

Has Sage announced when this version will be retired yet?   We cannot upgrade to 2018 due to some 3rd party compatibility issues

and have already tested an upgrade to 2016, but need to know how long it will be viable.

    Sage 500 ERP 2016 is currently in a state where product updates are no longer supplied.  It will currently receive 1099 updates and hotfixes on a case-by-case basis.  Next year when version 2019 comes out, it will likely move to a status where it  will no longer receive hotfixes, and may or may not receive 1099 updates.

    When version 2019 comes out next year, version 2017 will likely move to the state where version 2016 is today where product updates are no longer supplied, hotfixes are done on a case-by-case basis, and 1099 updates are probably supplied.

    I believe the common approach is to support the last two most recent versions, and the version prior to those only receives limited hotfixes on a case-by-case basis.

    Please check with Sage for the official information.
