GoAnywhere MFT End of Support Life Policy and Supported Versions
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2022 10:30 am
Can I get support after my version has entered the EOSL?
- If you have a current Maintenance and Support plan, you will still receive limited/minimal support at the discretion of the Fortra Support team, however, Fortra will no longer release maintenance builds or "patches" for that version.
- It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version, as many "fixes" and new features are related to security and performance.
- When you have an active Maintenance and Support Plan, you can update to the next version for free.
- To view version history and download the latest version, log in to the Customer Portal. Be sure to read the version history and upgrade instructions before upgrading the product. For complex installations, contact us to ask about our Product Upgrade Service to help with the upgrade.
The EOSL Cycle begins when the next major version is released. Every major version has an approximate lifespan of 2 years.
