Product Version Lifecycle

Starting with V10.0, Cora SeQuence has been renamed to Cora Orchestration.

Overview

Cora SeQuence lifecycle starts when the product version is released and ends when that version is no longer supported. Among other things, each stage in the lifecycle determines the level of support, maintenance services, and access to certain product resources.

It is important to be aware of the status of your product version, to understand which services are available for your product, and to help you make informed decisions on when to update or upgrade.

Cora SeQuence lifecycle includes three main status: Mainstream Support, Extended Support, and End of Life.
