Guideline for Laserfiche Product Solutions End-of-Life Timeline

In an effort to streamline Cloud development resources to the most impactful services, Laserfiche is shortening the end-of-support date for Cloud products. The offramp for Cloud is shorter due to the increased development resources of maintaining obsolete products that need testing, updating, security reviews and other continually monitoring compared to minimal impact of self-hosted. These are guidelines and the actual support period will be tied to the number of customers impacted, time to implement alternative options and other factors such as compliance, technology constraints and supply.

End-of-Life announcement date: This date designates the notification that the end-of-life process for a product begins.
End of new product sales date: Laserfiche will provide up to 30 days’ notice from the End-of-Life announcement date to the affected product’s end of new product sale date. We encourage customers to visit the answers.laserfiche.com site regularly as it contains useful information regarding Laserfiche’s end of life program.
End of Support and Subscription renewal sales date: Annual subscription renewals and Laserfiche Software Support Plan (LSSP) sales for the product will end 90 days after the EOL announcement date.
End of technical support date: The end of technical support date typically occurs up to 6 to 18 months after the EOL announcement date.
