wbb Limited Support for WoltLab Suite 3.1 and WoltLab Suite 5.2

[Guest Alexander Ebert]

WoltLab Suite 3.1 was released on February 10, 2018 and its guaranteed support period ends on December 29, 2021, two years after the final release of its successor WoltLab Suite 5.2. We'll continue to provide security updates for the WoltLab Suite 3.1 series for a limited time, before dropping the support entirely.

All licenses valid for WoltLab Suite 5.2 have access to its successor the WoltLab Suite 5.3 without exceptions. By asking all users of the WoltLab Suite 5.2 to upgrade to the version 5.3, we can focus on providing the best possible support for this version instead of splitting our attention. At the same time customers are able to make use of the new and improved features in this version.

 

 

 

WoltLab Suite 5.3 is a free upgrade for all licensees that have access to WoltLab Suite 5.2.
