HPE Morpheus Software supports each major version for a period of two years. This support window is split between a twelve-month period of active development followed by another twelve-month period of maintenance support. During active maintenance, an upgrade containing new features is released once per quarter (version x.1.x, x.2.x, etc). Each month between the quarterly feature upgrades, we will deliver a maintenance upgrade containing improvements and bug fixes (version x.x.1 and x.x.2). After this twelve-month period of active development ends, a new major upgrade is delivered (version 9.x.x, 10.x.x, etc) and a twelve-month period of maintenance support begins. During maintenance support, there are no scheduled monthly upgrades. However, support services are still available and critical security upgrades will be delivered should the need arise. After this twelve-month period of maintenance support ends, all versions within that major release umbrella will reach end of life. **After the security maintenance window ends and end-of-life is reached, access to Morpheus support services for that major version stream will also end. To receive support, you will be required to upgrade to a supported version.**  
  
**NOTE:** The table above is meant to be an illustration of the expected release cadence described. It is not necessarily a commitment to release specific version numbers at specific times.
