Elastic Product End of Life Dates

We love all our products, but sometimes we must say goodbye to a release so that we can continue moving forward on future development and innovation. Elastic's Support Services Policy defines how long a given release is maintained and supported.

Our version code is made of three numbers separated by dots: the leftmost number is the major release, the middle number is the minor release, and the rightmost number is the maintenance release (e.g., 8.3.2 means major release 8, minor release 3 and maintenance release 2).

Elastic will provide maintenance (e.g., provide bug fixes or address security vulnerabilities) for each major release during the Maintenance Term (as defined in the Elastic Support Services Policy) either through either a new minor release or a new maintenance release to the latest minor version. For example, if major release series 8.x is within the Maintenance Term, and 8.3 is the current minor version, fixes will be made either through the next minor version (e.g., 8.4) or a maintenance release in 8.3 (e.g., 8.3.2).

Please see the Elastic Support Services Policy and the Support Matrix for more information. 

End of Life (EOL) Tables: Current Versions

The tables below reflect the end of the Maintenance Term for our current versions of Software. The end of the Support Term is six months following the end of the Maintenance Term. Please scroll to the next section for further information on prior versions of Software.
