Question
Will it be possible for you to give me and my team an overview of how the MIKE products have evolved over time as well as how they are integrated and named in MIKE+?
Answer
With Release 2024 a number of products were decommissioned, including MIKE 11, MIKE FLOOD and MIKE HYDRO River (including MIKE 11 Cross section Editor). Most of the features in MIKE HYDRO River and MIKE 11 are now migrated into the MIKE+ interface. In addition, although the MIKE 21 Classic Grid (previously decommissioned), its functionality is fully covered by the Flexible Mesh models. It is, therefore, possible to load dfs2 files directly into the MIKE+ 2D overland model (or the MIKE 21 Flow Model FM-Flexible Mesh) and use such grid dfs2 files as the model domain, without having to perform any kind of conversion.
NOTE: "Decommissioning a product" is a strategic approach for systematically retiring/merging legacy products - without compromising business needs or compliance requirements. Most of the time, the legacy product will be replaced by an even better one and this is exactly what has happened to the MIKE products, for instance in Release 2024.
An overview of the evolution of older MIKE products (MIKE URBAN, MIKE FLOOD, MIKE 11, MIKE HYDRO River) into MIKE+ and consequently naming can be seen in Overview in Fig. 1.
Feel free to explore the "Related Knowledge Base Articles" and "Training Options" listed below for more information regarding the migration processes.

Conclusion
MIKE+ modules, now included in the integrated MIKE+ GUI, have arisen as a result of the migration process from older MIKE products (MIKE URBAN, MIKE FLOOD, MIKE 11, MIKE HYDRO River).
