I just got this email from HP:

HP Software is announcing end-of-support for HP WinRunner software, all versions (7.5, 7.6, 8.0, 8.2, 9.2). This end-of-support is based on our decision to consolidate and focus our functional testing offerings (HP WinRunner and HP QuickTest Professional) to maximize value to our customers. For migration options, support end dates and a list of FAQs, read the entire announcement here.

WinRunner to Functional Testing - License Migration Path

• As part of the migration offer, Hewlett-Packard will replace the WinRunner licenses listed above that are fully maintained by an active annual WinRunner support contract with a Functional Testing v9.5 license, free of charge.
• WinRunner customers may upgrade to Functional Testing v9.5 at the next WinRunner maintenance
  renewal date. License migration will be available starting April 1, 2008.
• Support for WinRunner will be provided until Jan 1, 2011 in two phases as detailed below, giving
  customers enough time to plan and execute a successful migration of test assets.
• In order to aid customers and minimize disruptions resulting from the migration of testing assets, HP will offer migration consulting services through HP Consulting and Integration (C&I), as well automated migration service offerings through HP Professional Services (PSO) & external 3rd party service providers. (See press release for migration service details).
