Today, we’re announcing that use rights for Dynamics 365 Field Service (on-premises) will be retired on June 30, 2022. If your organization is currently using an on-premises version, this blog post gives you information to help you understand and plan for this change.
Dynamics 365 Field Service (on-premises) allows organizations to install and run Field Service version 7 and applications on computers located on site rather than as a service in the cloud. On-premises implementations of the Field Service application will no longer be supported after June 30, 2022.
If your organization is currently using Dynamics 365 Field Service (on-premises), you’ll need to migrate to Dynamics 365 Field Service.
Yes. The Dynamics 365 Migration Program is available to assist our customers with migrating from on-premises to the cloud. If you have questions specifically related to a Field Service migration, send us an email.
Field Service Mobile (Xamarin) is also being retired June 30, 2022, and it will no longer be available. For more information about the Field Service mobile apps, go to the documentation.
