Payara Platform 4 is reaching its End of Life, and the end of Extended Support is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. 

However, we understand there are critical business reasons for which some of our customerscannot immediately transition some workloads to newer versions of the platform. To meet your legitimate business requirements, we are introducing the Lifetime Support model. This new offer replaces the Extended Support offeringfor this version and is designed to give you confidence that your business-critical applications will have enterprise level support to remain stable and secure during this transition period. 

This is your advance notice so that you can begin making plans to secure support for your existing infrastructure or to upgrade to Payara Platform 5 or 6.
