Long-term assurance services

Embedded projects have to withstand evolving hardware, shifting compliance requirements, and toolchains that keep moving underneath them. Without long-term support, teams risk costly rework, certification lapses, and unplanned re-validation. IAR's long-term assurance portfolio, spanning technology migration, compliance support, expert training, and LTS Services, keeps embedded software sustainable and compliant for decades, even as processors become obsolete and regulations change. 

Beyond toolchains: A long-term commitment to embedded success

Safety doesn't end at start-of-production. Tools, compilers, and build environments have to stay stable and reproducible for years after a product ships. Without that, requalification effort increases, safety evidence becomes invalid, and every update introduces new risk. This is where LTS Services do the heavy lifting: version-specific stability for a certified release, Validated Service Packs, Known Problem Reports for transparency, and prioritized support with trigger analysis and avoidance guidance, delivered as a contractual, multi-year commitment of up to 10 years.

Unlike open-source toolchains, where qualification, change control, and audit evidence typically fall on the customer, IAR provides dedicated global support with guaranteed response times and long-term agreements. Engineers spend less time troubleshooting toolchain failures and more time building.
