Objectif Lune Product Status
Everything you need to know about the status of Objectif Lune’s products and services.
Our commitment
At Objectif Lune, we are committed to providing high-quality software and services to all our clients, around the world. As part of our Product Life Cycle planning process, we review the commercial and technical viability of our product portfolio every 6 months and adjust product statuses as needed.
To ensure the high level of support that customers and partners expect from Objectif Lune, we work hard to provide timely patches and fixes to issues that arise, for all our current products. As better, more-evolved technologies and innovations come to market, we adjust our focus to embrace those that are more ready for the future. We then review our product line-up and begin to transition “current” products towards “maintenance mode” and eventually to “end-of-life” status.
Current products
Current OL products are generally available for purchase and are considered the present-day active product line-up. Products in this status enjoy two regular feature updates per year and ongoing product development from our R&D team. Product training courses are available and new software licenses may be purchased at any time. Product maintenance contracts, also known as OL Care, can also be purchased or renewed for all current OL products.
