# Product Version Life Cycle

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

NVIDIA Run:ai follows a structured product lifecycle to ensure customers receive regular updates, security patches, and long-term stability for their deployments. This document outlines the support phases for each release version, including the timelines for Full Support and Extended Support.

* **Full Support** - Each version receives critical and important bug fixes.
* **Extended Support** - After the full support period ends, the version continues to receive critical bug fixes.
* **End of Support** - Once a version reaches this stage, it will no longer receive updates, and customers are encouraged to upgrade to a supported version.

The table below details the supported versions of NVIDIA Run:ai, along with their respective support timelines. If your deployment is approaching the end of support, we recommend planning an upgrade to ensure continued security and functionality.
