JBoss Product Update and Support PolicySPECIAL NOTE:When we introduced in April 2007 our new JBoss Enterprise Middleware product delivery model, we accommodated this change by continuing to provide support for our enterprise customers in transition, assisting them while they moved from using community-supported JBoss.org projects to our enterprise-supported JBoss Enterprise Middleware subscription products.After this 12 month period, please be advised that, as of August 1st, 2008, this transition will end and we will no longer provide support for JBoss.org community projects as part of your JBoss Enterprise Middleware subscription; only software obtained from the JBoss Customer Support Portal will be supported, as noted in the subscription support agreement. This August 1st deadline is applicable in particular for community-supported JBoss.org projects such as Application Server 4.2 and above. This is why these products do not appear below in the Details section.
OverviewJBoss offers Product Subscriptions and Support Services for the JBoss Enterprise Middleware products listed on this page below. JBoss has established fixed life cycles for JBoss Enterprise Middleware products which will allow customers and partners to plan their resources, certifications, and implementations accordingly.JBoss releases errata to address bugs, provide enhancements, or to fix security vulnerabilities. With each erratum, we supply an advisory to give details of the issues being fixed as well as how to obtain and install the required software packages. Certified product downloads and errata/patch releases are made available to JBoss customers via our Customer Support Portal.
