1. Support timeline update
Support for Flow Classic 6.15 has officially passed its guaranteed support period (November 2025).
To ensure a smooth transition for our customers, standard support is extended until December 31, 2026.
After this date, Restricted Support will be available until September 30, 2027, when all support for Flow Classic ends.
2. Scope of Service
From January 1, 2027, support continues with important limitations:
- Only critical and security-related fixes
- No development of new product features
- Available only for on-premise installations
- Applies to maintenance & on-prem subscriptions equally
- Flow Classic will no longer be available as SaaS after Dec 31, 2026
Pricing: Restricted Support = 150% of current maintenance/subscription fee
The only version that Novacura will offer in the SaaS model after December 31, 2026, will be Flow Connect.
