Long Term Support versions

Customers who have subscribed to BYODAPP Support & Update Services and are not interested in BYODAPP latest features and improvements can install a BYODAPP LTS (Long Term Support) version.

BYODAPP LTS (Long Term Support) version extends the period of software maintenance; it also reduce the frequency of software updates to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software.

Moreover, BYODAPP LTS (Long Term Support) does not receive any new features.
