Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 LTS End of Premium Support: March 13, 2027
Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 leaves Premium Support on March 13, 2027 and Limited Support on March 12, 2029. Liferay's Service Life Policy designates the Q1 quarterly release of each calendar year as the Long-Term Support (LTS) version, so 2024.Q1 is the LTS release of 2024. Its row in Liferay's table gives a General Availability Date of March 13, 2024, three years of Premium Support and then two years of Limited Support. After the end of Limited Support the policy provides no further support for 2024.Q1. Live status and EOL Risk Score are on the Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 page; every release is on the Liferay DXP page.
The LTS releases, as Liferay prints them
| Release | General Availability | End of Premium Support | End of Limited Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026.Q1 (LTS) | March 18, 2026 | March 17, 2029 | March 17, 2031 |
| 2025.Q1 (LTS) | February 19, 2025 | February 18, 2028 | February 18, 2030 |
| 2024.Q1 (LTS) | March 13, 2024 | March 13, 2027 | March 12, 2029 |
The quarterly releases between them (2024.Q2 to 2024.Q4, 2025.Q2 to 2025.Q4 and later) get one year of Premium Support and, in Liferay's words, no Limited Support Phase; the Liferay DXP 2025.Q4 guide covers that rule. Liferay's table prints the 2024.Q1 End of Premium Support on the same day of the month as its General Availability Date, where the other rows end a day earlier; we show the date exactly as Liferay prints it.
What each phase covers
Premium Support Phase (until March 13, 2027). For customers with an active Subscription, Liferay's policy lists Help Center access (prior releases, Knowledge Base, documentation, the incident management system), security advisories and security patches under Liferay's Security Policy, proactive scans for security vulnerabilities in the latest releases up to the End of Premium Support, and responses to incident tickets at the subscription's service level.
Limited Support Phase (until March 12, 2029). Available only for releases marked LTS, which includes 2024.Q1. Help Center access and incident tickets continue, with support for critical security vulnerabilities and essential updates under Liferay's Security Policy. For product issues, Liferay will only provide hotfixes that already exist for the customer's version or recommend an update or upgrade. The policy adds that Liferay recommends customers in active development purchase Extended Premium Support; ask Liferay for its terms and dates for 2024.Q1 in writing.
After the End of Limited Support. Liferay's policy defines no phase after it, so 2024.Q1 gets no security fixes, hotfixes or ticket support from Liferay.
Where to move
Liferay's Knowledge Base article on choosing a quarterly release says that "the latest Patch Release for the most recent Q1 Quarterly Release guarantees a longer support lifecycle", while the latest patch release of the most recent quarterly release carries the most complete set of fixes. For a 2024.Q1 site that wants to stay on one version for years, that points to 2026.Q1, the newest LTS release: Premium Support until March 17, 2029 and Limited Support until March 17, 2031. 2025.Q1 is also an LTS release, but its Premium Support ends about a year sooner, on February 18, 2028.
The same article tells teams to read the compatibility matrix, changelog, breaking changes and release notes of each quarterly release before choosing, because a release can carry a breaking change a project cannot absorb yet. Seven quarterly releases lie between 2024.Q1 and 2026.Q1, so budget for that review.
What to do
- Find every 2024.Q1 installation, including staging environments and container images pinned to a 2024.Q1 tag. The quarterly release name decides the dates, not the patch level.
- Plan the upgrade to finish before March 13, 2027, while 2024.Q1 still receives regular security patches.
- Review the breaking changes and compatibility matrix for every quarterly release up to the target, as Liferay's Knowledge Base advises, and test custom modules and themes against it.
- If a portal must stay on 2024.Q1 past that date, confirm in writing with Liferay what your subscription covers under Limited Support or Extended Premium Support, and plan to be off 2024.Q1 before March 12, 2029.
