Ahmad Husein (Progress Software) asked a question.
MarkLogic Server 10 is planned for retirement in March 2026. If you're still running MarkLogic Server 10 or older, now is the time to consider upgrading to a supported version to ensure continued access to updates, security patches, and new features.
What Does Retirement Mean and What’s Next?
When retired:
- MarkLogic Server 10 will no longer be available for sale, except for additional licenses by existing customers
- No updates or certifications will be provided for new operating environments
- Commercially reasonable support will be offered for customers with active maintenance contracts, but issue resolution is not guaranteed as development and testing environments for version 10 may no longer be available.
Progress strongly recommends upgrading to a supported release to maintain full support.
Upgrading to a Supported Version
By upgrading to a supported version, you get:
- Performance optimizations and enhanced memory management
- Security updates aligned with modern standards
- Platform compatibility improvements and bug fixes
- Advanced capabilities
