IBM has not announced a date yet.

My guess would be April 2015.

We have not announced an end of service for 8.5 at this time. When it is announced, you will find that date at this site.

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/

When we do announce, customers have at least 12 months between the announcement and the actual end of service date. So, it cannot be April 2015 since that would mean less that 12 months.

If anyone would like to follow up more specifically, please email me privately at tcurcio@us.ibm.com

Thanks, Tony.

That was my guess 14 months before April 2015.
