We do have documentation for application lifecycles and once we get word the application is being sunsetted, we update our documentation and mark the application as "not available". We are not currently using the software manager in WPS at this time. We are not able to get funding to upgrade to the Enterprise version at this time, however we want to go that route.
I was looking to see if anyone had a system in place that they used for software archiving other than the software manager, somthing geared to the process of what files they kept, directory structures, naming conventions of directories, etc. We need to free up several hundred gigs of diskspace and move the older versions/sunsetted applications to DVD.
Eventually we are hoping to to upgrade to WPS 7.03 Enterprise, and utilize all the functionality of the tools. We just upgraded to WPS 7.03 from WPS 7.00.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin Elwell
