Extended Maintenance and Support Policy
After the stipulated terms of the standard/platinum support, Sencha customers can enroll into an add-on Extended Maintenance and Support Plan to continue to get support for software versions. This plan enables customers to receive bug fixes, support for new browsers, access to standard forums, online ticketing, and remote troubleshooting. See Product Support Matrix for details on software versions and their support timelines.
(Note: In some instances however, Sencha may require a customer to upgrade to the last minor version of the release. For example, upgrade to Ext JS 6.7 to fix issue, if using Ext JS 6.6)
Extended maintenance and support for each major version is sold separately and must be purchased for all licenses held by the organization. Please contact Sales for pricing details or migration assistance.

Information regarding Sencha’s Bridge Products
As part of our product sunsetting process, we are announcing that from June 1, 2022, the bridge products and releases above will be transitioned to an end-of-life status. From this date, the products and releases above will no longer be commercially available or developed by Sencha.
You may continue to use your perpetual license to the Products in accordance with the terms of your license agreement. After the effective date, we will no longer be able to provide you with license keys or updates for your Products or Releases.
In the event a maintenance agreement between us has not been terminated or is not already expired, this end-of-life notification serves as a notice of termination thereof with respect to the said product releases.
We appreciate that you understand that the Products will eventually reach the end of their product life cycles as new, cost-effective, and efficient technologies become available.
As a valued customer of Sencha, there are a number of alternatives for you to consider. We will be happy to assist you in assessing your options and in balancing your technical and budgetary needs. Please do not hesitate to contact your assigned Sencha Sales representative.

Ext JS “Standard License” End of Support
Effective Date: 1st September 2023
After careful consideration, we have decided to sunset the legacy Ext JS Standard License. The Ext JS Standard License has not been available for purchase since July of 2018, and we plan to discontinue it from 09/01/2023 onwards. This change is aimed at allowing us to maximize our investment in both the Pro and Enterprise versions.
Users with a Standard license will be transitioned to the Pro version of Ext JS upon renewal. The Pro version offers enhanced features and benefits, including IDE Plugins, Architect, and Themer. For larger customers, we highly encourage upgrading to our Enterprise edition, which more comprehensively addresses your development needs.
Our dedicated support and account managers will collaborate with you to ensure a seamless transition. We believe that this change will provide additional value to your teams, enabling the creation of even more powerful Ext JS applications.
If you have any questions concerning this end-of-support notification, please contact us here.
