Acronis Support Lifecycle Policy for Mobility Products
There are three phases of support for Acronis mobility products.
- Phase 1: Mainstream Support starts from the release date and lasts until the next major product version is released. The entire scope of support services is provided during this phase.
- Phase 2: Extended Support starts when the Mainstream Support phase ends and lasts for a specific duration (usually until the two new major product versions have been released). Limited support services are provided.
- Phase 3: Self-Service Support is available for three additional years after the Extended Support phase ends. It includes Acronis online Knowledge Base articles, FAQs, troubleshooting tools, and other resources to help customers resolve common issues.
Phases of the Support Lifecycle for Mobility Products

1 A solution or workaround is provided at Acronis' discretion. If the issue is resolved in the newer version, an upgrade is considered a valid solution.
2 The bugfix will be added to the Product Roadmap. A fix is not guaranteed for all software defects. Triage and fix are at Acronis' discretion.
Important Considerations:
Acronis provides full support for the two latest minor versions of the product. Customers are encouraged to update to the latest available build to ensure they have the most stable and secure version of the product.
