For each major release of a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops product or component, customers will receive a minimum lifecycle of four years.
The total lifecycle will consist of a mainstream maintenance phase for at least the first three years followed by an extended maintenance phase. After these two phases, customers have the option to purchase an additional phase via the Extended Support Program. The end of this extended support phase is intended to align with the Extended Support end date for the corresponding Microsoft Server OS. The specific dates for each major release of the product are posted within the Product Matrix Table or Legacy Product Matrix Table. For quick reference, those dates are replicated below.
The table below lists the currently maintained major versions of the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops product along with their minimum lifecycle dates:
