What is the difference between the Long Term Support version and the mainstream version of Spotfire?

Hansen, Stefan
  • Updated

Keywords: LTS, Long term support, mainstream, Spotfire

 

There are two types of Spotfire releases: Long Term Support (LTS) and mainstream.

 

The LTS version is supported for about 2 years and will receive hotfixes and service pack until the support ends for that specific LTS version.

 

Mainstream releases are supported for 12 months after the next mainstream or LTS version is released.

If there are hotfixes released for mainstream versions it will only be for the latest version.

 

Revvity Signals strongly recommends using the latest LTS version as Revvity Signals Inventa, Revvity Signals VitroVivo and Lead Discovery are only supported on the LTS versions of Spotfire.
