Milestone Product Lifecycle

Milestone products have a lifecycle with several stages, depending on their availability and support. For more information on the details of each stage and how it applies to the different products, please see below product lifecycle sections on:


Lifecycle for XProtect – active product versions

Milestone’s Video Management Software products change status from General Availability to Limited Availability three months after a similar or substituting product has been released. In special cases where a newer version has not been released, Limited Availability will start one year from the General Availability date. Milestone guarantees a minimal availability period of four years for all its VMS products, in which the product becomes Discontinued after three years from its General Availability date and Terminated after four years. Milestone reserves the right to prolong the lifespan of its products at its sole discretion.
* The above availability status rules refer also to all Milestone’s clients including XProtect Smart Client, XProtect Web Client, and XProtect Mobile.
