How long is the support lifecycle for a specific version of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer?
This article applies to all MetaDefender Managed File Transfer releases.
OPSWAT provides support on each release of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer for 18 months after the publication of the following release of the product. So, once a new release is published, you have 18 more months of support on the previous release.
Keep in mind, however, that bug fixes and enhancements are applied only to the next release of a product, not to the current release or historical releases - even when those releases are still under support.
In some cases, hot-fixes can be provided for the current release of the product, and then incorporated as regular fixes in the next release.
OPSWAT highly recommends that users regularly upgrade to the latest version of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer and not wait until the end of a release’s support cycle.
Current versions incorporate state-of-the-art features and necessary bug fixes, and are freely available for all license holders to download.
To upgrade, follow these steps:
- Browse Release Notes for details on the latest MetaDefender Managed File Transfer version release.
- Visit the My OPSWAT to download a new version under the relevant package license.
If you are upgrading from an older release, visit Product Upgrading.
