David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the continued support of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its ecosystem. Our ISV products are only compatible with Dynamics GP and have been created to solve pain points and missing features as requested by the GP community.

While Microsoft has stated that they will cease support for Dynamics GP in 2031, it is important to note that “End of Support” does not equate to “End of Life”.

A driving force in the community support will be the Knights of GP.

This was David Musgrave’s gift to the Microsoft Dynamics GP community. Sadly, as the cost of maintaining and supporting the product increases, it has become necessary to charge a small fee for subscriptions starting in 2027.
