Long Term Support (LTS) and Feature Releases

You can choose between two paths for receiving releases: Long Term Support (LTS) Release or Feature Release.

Long Term Support (LTS)

  • The initial One Identity Manager LTS release is 9.0. For all LTS releases of One Identity Manager, the first digit identifies the release and the second is always a zero (for example, 9.0).

  • Maintenance LTS Releases (known as Cumulative Updates): A third digit is added; for example, 9.0.1.

Feature Release

  • Feature Releases' version numbers are two digits (for example, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 etc).

The table below shows a comparison of Long Term Support (LTS) Release and Feature Release.

Table 27: Comparison of Long Term Support (LTS) Release and Feature Release

Category

Long Term Support (LTS) Release

Feature Release

Release frequency

Every 36 months (includes resolved issues and security related updates).

Approximately every 12 months (includes resolved issues and security related updates).

Duration of full support

36 months

18 months

Duration of limited support

12 months (after the end of full support)

6 months (after the end of full support)

Versioning

All versions where the second number is 0. For example: 9.0.0 (9.0.1, 9.0.2,), 10.0.0, 11.0.0, and so on.

All versions where the second number is not 0. For example: 9.1.0 (9.1.1, 9.1.2), 9.2, 9.3, and so on.

Duration of service pack availability between releases

Approximately every 6 months, cumulative updates (CUs) are expected for each LTS release.

Every 6 months patch releases (service pack) are expected for each feature release currently supported.

Criteria for issuing hotfixes for LTS outside of a cumulative update cycle

  • The product is not functioning after installing the most recent CU and the customer cannot wait until the next CU is available.

  • The product is not functioning/is inoperable which is causing a production outage/serious issue.

  • A security related fix is needed on a priority basis to address a vulnerability.

  • No fixes will be issued to implement an enhancement outside of the cumulative update cycle.

 

Release details can be found at Product Life Cycle.

One Identity strongly recommends always installing the latest revision of the release path chosen by the customers/partners (Long Term Support path or Feature Release path).

Moving between LTS versions and Feature Release versions

You can move from an LTS version (for example, 9.0 LTS) by installing a later feature release or version (for example 9.3). Once this has happened, you are not on the LTS support path until the next LTS base version (10.0, etc.) is installed.

You can move from a Feature Release to an LTS Release, but only to an LTS release with a later version. For example, you cannot move from 9.3 to 9.0 LTS. You have to keep upgrading with each new Feature Release until the next LTS Release version is published. For this example, you would wait until 10.0 LTS is available.

Patches

For LTS, there are no patches released, only hotfixes, and these are distributed only in rare cases. Refer to the previous table to see the criteria for LTS hotfixes. These hotfixes need to be applied in order of their release.

LTS has periodic cumulative updates (CUs) provided for LTS customers, which roll out the issues resolved during that period. It is not required to install every CU separately. For instance, if CU1 is released followed by CU 2, you do not need to install CU1 before installing CU2. The CUs are cumulative.

For more information, see the knowledge article 4372133

For customers on the feature release option track, maintenance releases are cumulative, meaning that maintenance releases do not need intermediate releases to be installed to update to a newer maintenance release. This is unchanged from previous versions. For example, if you want currently use version 9.1.1 and want to upgrade to 9.3, and, for example, versions 9.1.3, 9.1.4, and 9.1.5 have been released, you only have to install version 9.3 and it automatically applies the resolved issues from 9.1.3, 9.1.4, and 9.1.5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Long Term Support (LTS)?

  • LTS is a support option that allows you to stay on the same release for an extended period of time while still receiving the high level of support that One Identity is known for. While on the LTS path, you receive updates aimed at resolving issues and vulnerabilities. There are not, however, any product enhancements or features delivered while on the LTS release.

What are the benefits to being on an LTS release?

  • Some enterprises have a difficult time in keeping up with the migration to new releases in a timely manner to fit within the vendor’s support guidelines. This allows the enterprise to stay on one version for a considerable amount of time.

What are the disadvantages to being on an LTS release?

  • The negatives, of course, are missing out on receiving the latest enhancements and features from the vendor.

Duration of an LTS release

  • A Long Term Support (LTS) version provides you with up to 3 years of support after the original release date or until the next LTS release (which ever date is later); with an option to continue via Extended Security Support (ESS).

How do I make the move to the LTS support option?

  • When you install an LTS version, such as One Identity Manager 9.0, you are automatically on the LTS path. The choice you make for the next release that you install, determines whether you remain on LTS or go to the traditional support model.

Once I choose to go on the LTS path, can I ever move back to the feature release path?

  • Yes. You can do this by installing a later maintenance version or feature release. For example, if you currently have version 9.0 (LTS) and decide to move to 9.3, you will come off the LTS support path until you install the next base LTS version (10.0, etc.)

Is there an extra charge if I choose the LTS option?

  • No, long term support is included in your annual maintenance renewal. An option to continue limited support is offered at an additional charge via our Extended Security Support (ESS).
