This Solace Product Lifecycle Policy is applicable to all Solace products sold after May 1, 2019, and allows you to prepare for end-of-life product transitions. Milestones and phases from Product Introduction through to End of Support are defined with reasonable timeframes for each phase.
Lifecycle Policy for products sold before May 1, 2019 can be found here.
These specific software and firmware version expirations are described at the Support page. The Product Lifecycle Policy applies to the product as a whole. This diagram below illustrates the Solace product lifecycle, and is followed by a schedule of which versions have reached which milestone.
Note that support for certain versions of SolOS firmware and certain versions of PubSub+ software products follow different timelines and are described in Solace Support Services, and the Solace PubSub+ software products and SolOS firmware table provides information regarding the end of support dates.
Descriptions of each stage in Solace’s Product Lifecycle are presented in the following table.
| Milestone / Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Introduction | Marks the beginning of the General Availability phase. At this point customers may begin to purchase the product. |
| General Availability | During this phase customers may purchase the product without restriction. Customers with current support plans will receive Major, Maintenance and Hotfix releases applicable to the product. The General Availability phase typically lasts 3 to 4 years. |
| End of Sales | Marks the end of the General Availability phase, and the beginning of the No New Sales Phase. |
| No New Sales | During this phase the product is not generally available for purchase. Customers with current support plans will receive the same level of support as during the General Availability Phase. The No New Sales phase is 5 years long. |
| End of Support | After 5 years of General Availability, customers will no longer have the option of renewing their support plans, and Solace will cease providing support for the product. |
Note: Formal notifications of a product reaching any product lifecycle milestone will be sent by email to customers on active Support Plans. Contact Solace Support at support@solace.com to be included in these notifications.
