Infor Support Ending for Internet Explorer

As of October 31, 2020, Infor is no longer going to support Internet Explorer as a browser for accessing Lawson applications. According to Microsoft, the end of life for IE will coincide with the end of life for Windows 10, so this is not a notice for the end of life for IE. This just means that any future Infor patches will not be developed to function with Internet Explorer.

 

Lawson has been stable in Chrome since the later releases of version 9. It is also supported on Microsoft Edge Chromium and Firefox. There are some things you will want to consider before moving to a different browser:

Impacted Applications

• Infor Lawson System Foundation (LSF) 10.0.X.0 release
• Infor Landmark Technology Runtime 10.1.1.X and 11 releases

Design Studio

• Design Studio 10 (the application) is going to continue to be supported in Internet Explorer
• Design Studio forms might need some updates to make them compatible with a different browser. Design Studio relies heavily on JavaScript, and some of the syntax is browser-dependent.  Make sure you test all of your design studio forms before having users switch browsers.

MSCM

• MSCM 10 is not compatible with Chrome. Infor will continue to support Internet Explorer with MSCM 10 installations until the end-of-life for MSCM 10.X.
• MSCM 11.X (base, POU, and SIM) is compatible with Chrome, and it is recommended that you get to v11 as soon as possible! Contact us if you need help upgrading.

Recommendations

• Switching browsers should be pretty seamless. Just have your users spend a week performing their daily tasks in your organization’s chosen browser, and log any issues that arise.  If they hit a wall, they can always move to IE until a workaround is provided.
• Upgrade MSCM! If you own licensing for MSCM, the update should already be available to you.

 

As always, check the Infor Lawson compatibility matrix to get the latest information in application compatibility.
