About this event
Across the terminal emulation market, 2026 is becoming a key transition point.
Ericom PowerTerm will no longer allow annual support to be purchased after June 30, 2026. At the same time, multiple legacy terminal emulation products from Rocket Software are aligned to move into “Mature- Restricted Support,” where support is limited, hotfixes are no longer available, and issues may not be reproducible in vendor environments.
For organizations relying on terminal emulators to access mainframe, IBM i, and UNIX systems, these changes introduce new considerations around security, compliance, and long-term planning.
This session provides a clear, practical explanation of what is changing and how to approach it in a controlled way.
