Versioning Model
Cortex XSOAR versioning methodology is based on M.N.P:
M
: major version number
N
: minor version number
P
: patch-set number
Release Cycle
(subject to change)
1 major version released every 12-18 months (major version
is M.x.x. For example, 2.0.0).
3 minor versions released annually (minor version is M.N.x.
For example, 2.2.0).
Patch set version - release based on need (M.N.P. For example,
2.2.1).
Support and End-of-Life
Major releases are supported for at least two years after the
release date. For the latest major version released, a minimum of two
minor versions (the most recent) are supported. As of March 2022,
Cortex XSOAR v6.2.0, v6.5.0, and v6.6.0 are supported. Cortex XSOAR
v6.0 and v6.1 are no longer supported.
For the major version prior to the latest version, a minimum
of one minor version (the most recent) is supported, for at least
two years after the major release. Cortex XSOAR v5.0 is the previous
major version. Support for the last version of v5.0, Cortex XSOAR v5.5,

General Guidelines
You should use the latest releases, as these include bug fixes,
performance improvements, stability enhancements, and may include
security patches.
You can continue using a version that is end-of-life. However,
when encountering an issue that requires Customer Support involvement,
you may be asked to upgrade to a supported version before assistance
can be provided.
