description: >-
  Version, support and deprecation posture. Enterprise Architect is shipped software on a
  perpetual-licence-plus-12-month-subscription model, not an operated service, which is why several
  fields a hosted API would carry are legitimately absent here rather than missing.
versioning:
  scheme: product release train (major.minor + build)
  current: '17.2'
  current_build: '1721'
  current_release_date: '2026-07-28'
  api_version_in_url: false
  note: >-
    The OSLC path segment is fixed at /oslc/am/ and carries no version. The API contract version is
    "OSLC Architecture Management v2.0" and the behaviour tracks the installed Pro Cloud Server
    build (6.x; 17.2 is documented against Pro Cloud Server 6.5).

deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header support, and no published notice period for
    removing OSLC capabilities. The one deprecation-shaped signal found is a compatibility break in
    the opposite direction: the MCP server add-in is documented as incompatible with Enterprise
    Architect 17.2, and version 2.8.9 added an explicit error return for tools unsupported on 17.2.
    No Deprecation pointer is emitted.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No uptime SLA is published, and none would apply: Pro Cloud Server runs on the customer's own
    infrastructure. The provider's own FAQ states plainly that Pro Cloud Server "isn't a cloud
    service". SLA-backed support is sold separately as Premium Platform Support through Sparx
    Systems North America.
status_page: null
status_page_note: >-
  No status page exists and none is expected for customer-installed software. The one hosted
  offering, EA SaaS, is sold through the regional Sparx Cloud Architecture Platform and publishes
  no separate status endpoint. No StatusPage pointer is emitted.
support:
  subscription: >-
    A licence includes a 12-month subscription covering major and minor updates, MSI deployment
    packages, access to older versions, priority bug handling, DBMS scripts and patches, and the
    model-security key.
  lapsed_licence: >-
    A lapsed subscription can be reinstated within 2 years at the renewal rate. Without renewal the
    customer loses access to the downloadable installer, and the provider advises keeping a local
    copy of the installation file.
