i2 release news May 2025

Upgrade i2 Analyst's Notebook and iBase

Support i2 Analyst's Notebook 9.4.0 (32-bits) and iBase 9.2.1 (32-bits)

End of support - December 2025

In July 2023, i2 released Analyst's Notebook 10.0.0, marking the first 64-bit version of the application. In November 2024, iBase 10.0.0 was released, also the first 64-bit version of that product. These technological upgrades ensure that Analyst's Notebook and iBase work with other 64-bit software, deliver improved performance, and introduce new features to better support analysts and investigators in carrying out their work. To give organizations more time to upgrade to Analyst’s Notebook 10 and iBase 10, i2 is extending the end-of-support date for earlier versions. i2 Analyst's Notebook 9.4.0 and iBase 9.2.1 are the last 32-bit versions of these products and will no longer be supported as of December 31, 2025

What does this mean for you?

By December 31, 2025, Analyst’s Notebook and iBase customers will need to upgrade to ANB version 10.0.2 (or later) and iBase version 10.0.0 (or later in order to continue using supported software, receive security and bug fixes, and gain access to new product features.
