If you’re trying to figure when you’ll need to upgrade .NET, Microsoft’s support lifecycle can be confusing. While .NET releases follow a predictable schedule, Standard Term Support (STS) and Long-Term Support (LTS) releases have very different support timelines. You’ll need to understand these to avoid unexpected end-of-support dates and build a more predictable upgrade strategy.

In this video, we break down Microsoft’s .NET support model, explain the differences between STS and LTS releases, and discuss how to approach upgrade planning for your applications. Whether you’re running .NET Framework, .NET Core, or modern .NET versions, understanding the support lifecycle can help you make informed migration decisions and reduce long-term maintenance risks.
