Support Lifecycle Policy
Replicated will provide support for products per our terms and services until that product is noted as End of Life (EOL).
| Product Phase | Definition |
|---|---|
| “GA” - General Availability | A product starts the General Availability phase when it is available for purchase from Replicated. |
| “LA” - Limited Availability | A product has reached the Limited Availability phase when it is no longer available for new purchases from Replicated. Updates will be primarily limited to security patches, critical bugs and features that enable migration to GA products. |
| “EOA” - End of Availability | A product has reached the End of Availability phase when it is no longer available for renewal purchase by existing customers. This date may coincide with the Limited Availability phase. This product is considered deprecated, and will move to End of Life after a determined support window. Product maintenance is limited to critical security issues only. |
| “EOL” - End of Life | A product has reached its End of Life, and will no longer be supported, patched, or fixed by Replicated. Associated product documentation may no longer be available. The Replicated team will continue to engage to migrate end customers to GA product based deployments of your application. |

Replicated support for end-customer installations is limited to those installs using a Replicated provided installer product, such as KOTS, kURL or Embedded Cluster, available with the Business or Enterprise plans. Replicated support for direct Helm CLI installs or other vendor provided installers is limited to the successful distribution of the software to the end-customer, as well as any issues with the Replicated SDK if included with the installation.
