How long is the support lifecycle for a specific version of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer?
This article applies to all MetaDefender Managed File Transfer releases.
OPSWAT provides support for each release of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer™ for 18 months after the next release of the product is published. Once a new release is available, support continues for the previous release for 18 months.
However, bug fixes and enhancements are applied only to the next release, not to the current or older releases, even if they are still under support.
In some cases, hot-fixes may be provided for the current release and then incorporated as regular fixes in the next release.
OPSWAT highly recommends upgrading regularily to the latest version of MetaDefender Managed File Transfer and not waiting until the end of a release’s support cycle.
Current versions incorporate state-of-the-art features and necessary bug fixes and are freely available for all license holders to download.
To upgrade, follow these steps:
- Browse Release Notes for details on the latest MetaDefender Managed File Transfer™ version.
- Visit My OPSWAT to download the new version under the relevant package license.
If upgrading from an older release, visit Upgrading MetaDefender Managed File Transfer.
