Long Term Support versions

Long Term Support versions

Customers who have subscribed to TSplus Support & Update Services and are not interested in TSplus latest features and improvements can install a TSplus LTS (Long Term Support) version.

TSplus LTS (Long Term Support) version extends the period of software maintenance; it also reduce the frequency of software updates to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software.

Moreover, TSplus LTS (Long Term Support) does not receive any new features.

TSplus lifecycle

TSplus standard versions are published quite often and the latest release is always the best solution available to our customers: all known bugs are fixed and new features are available very often.

A new major TSplus version is released at the start of every year: TSplus 11 in January 2018, TSplus 12 in January 2019 and so on, as shown in the diagram below

Starting January 2019, TSplus is also available in a Long Term Support version, named “LTS”. Every year, TSplus will publish a stable LTS version which will be supported for 2 years.

Benefits and Limitations of TSplus LTS

TSplus LTS has several benefits:

  • No updates except for security fixes and Windows updates compatibility
  • No changes in behavior and no changes in features when you update
  • Less risk when updating between two minor versions of a given LTS
  • Supported for 2 years

TSplus LTS also has limitations and constraints:

  • Customer must purchase Support & Update Services (a TSplus license generator cannot be activate without active Support & Update Services)
  • No new features at all (compared to TSplus standard version which constantly receives a lot of updates and new features)

We recommend our customers to use TSplus standard version to benefit from our state-of-the-art solution.
