Acronis products support lifecycle

Acronis Support Lifecycle Policy for Infrastructure Products

There are three phases of support for Acronis infrastructure products.
  • Phase 1: Mainstream support
    Phase 1: Mainstream support
    Starts on the general availability date of the major release and lasts until general availability date of next major release. All support services are available during this phase.
  • Phase 2: Extended support
    Phase 2: Extended support
    Starts when Mainstream Support ceases and lasts for one year. When a product version reaches this phase, no further Updates, Patches or Hotfixes will be created for it (exceptions are possible on a case-by-case basis). If Acronis determines that an issue is fixed in a mainstream version, you will be required to update to it.
  • Phase 3: Self-Service support
    Phase 3: Self-Service support
    Available over the course of a product's lifecycle and for seven years after the end of the Extended Support phase. It includes Acronis online Knowledge Base articles, FAQs, troubleshooting tools, and other resources to help customers resolve common issues.
