Sitecore publishes a product support lifecycle for each version of its products. It shows how long each version gets fixes, security patches and support from Sitecore, and when it reaches end of life (EOL).
Applies to: Sitecore XP and XM solutions hosted by Dataweavers. SitecoreAI (SaaS) is updated continuously by Sitecore, so version lifecycles don’t apply.
Why it matters
Knowing where your version sits in the lifecycle helps you:
- make sure Sitecore support is still available if you need it
- keep receiving security patches
- plan and budget for upgrades before your version reaches end of life.
Running a version that’s no longer supported
You can keep using a Sitecore version after Sitecore stops supporting it. But you won’t get new security patches or product fixes from Sitecore.
Planning an upgrade
If your version is approaching end of life, or you’d like to upgrade, raise a ticket with Dataweavers support or talk to your account manager.
