Product Support & Lifecycle Policy
Each major release of Serendipity Blackmagic, Serendipity Megarip, and Veripress is supported from its general availability date. Only the current release receives all updates, enhancement patches, and bug fixes. Previous releases within the support window remain eligible for technical support, but do not receive further updates or patches. Once a version reaches end-of-life, it is no longer eligible for technical support of any kind.

info This table reflects whether a software version is actively maintained by Serendipity Software — it does not indicate individual customer entitlement. Entitlement to updates and version upgrades is subject to your warranty or Maintenance Software Upgrade coverage. Bug fix point releases are available for your purchased version regardless of warranty status. Refer to our Warranty Policy for full details.

Running an end-of-life or outdated version?
If your version has reached end-of-life, Serendipity Software is unable to provide technical support until you have upgraded. Upgrading to the current release restores full entitlement to updates, patches, bug fixes, and technical support.
