Title: Consolidating OneDrive Products Under a Single Technopedia Product ID

Content Library: Technopedia

Severity: Level 1 – Tier 1 Manufacturer product and mapping changes

Impacted Publisher/Product: Microsoft OneDrive

SUMMARY OF CHANGE

Microsoft uses the OneDrive Sync version as the common version identifier for both personal and business/enterprise OneDrive applications. Refer to Microsoft OneDrive Sync Release Notes.

To align with Microsoft and ensure consistent recognition of OneDrive release footprints, Flexera Technopedia will retain a single product - OneDrive (PID 179171983) going forward. All releases currently associated with OneDrive Business (PID: 173698593) and OneDrive Online for 365 (PID: 1809160544) will be consolidated under this product. The two legacy products will then be removed from Technopedia.

DETAILS OF CHANGE

• The existing OneDrive Business product (PID: 173698593) and OneDrive Online for 365 products (PID: 1809160544) will be removed from Technopedia. All associated releases will be migrated to the existing OneDrive product (PID: 179171983).
• Existing Add/Remove data (installer evidence) and Executable data (file evidence) will be moved to the new OneDrive product (PID: 179171983). Mobile, Personal, and Business-related evidence will continue to be recognized consistently.
• Going forward, OneDrive mobile application versions will also be captured under the OneDrive product (PID: 179171983).

CUSTOMER IMPACT

Lineage impact:

• This update consolidates OneDrive Personal and OneDrive Business into a single product; this change does not qualify for lineage; therefore, no lineage entry is expected.
• Existing lineage for OneDrive Business (PID: 173698593) from Microsoft SkyDrive Pro for Business will be dropped, as the product is being updated.

Release and recognition updates: New releases will be added to the OneDrive product (PID: 179171983), and evidence recognition will be updated for existing OneDrive Business-related evidence.

This update introduces significant coverage changes that could adversely affect some customers. If these changes aren't reviewed in advance, they could affect customer environments. Please be aware and make any necessary adjustments.

Summary

As part of our ongoing quality check and data validation activities, Flexera identified 56 releases where the currently published End of Life (EOL) dates require correction based on vendor-supported lifecycle information.

After a detailed review of the available vendor documentation and support policies, updated EOL dates have been determined for these releases.

Flexera plans to update the EOL dates for the affected releases in Technopedia following a one-week customer notification period to allow customers sufficient time to review the proposed changes and raise any concerns

Impact

Customers using these releases for lifecycle management, reporting, compliance, or software asset management purposes may observe changes to the published EOL dates once the update is implemented.

The update affects only the EOL date for the identified releases. No changes will be made to product names, release names, mappings, manufacturer information, or Product IDs/Release IDs.

A spreadsheet “Quality Check (New EOL dates)” containing the affected releases, their current EOL dates, and the proposed updated EOL dates will be provided for customer review.

Timeframe

Expected Time to Implementation (ETA): September 28th to 30th September,2026.
