Why Upgrade?

Upgrading to iDempiere 12 LTS ensures you’re using the most secure, efficient, and feature-rich version of the software, backed by long-term community support.

iDempiere 12 is a Long-Term Support version, meaning it will receive bug fixes and important non-disruptive new features over the next year. Please note that all previous versions are no longer maintained. Using outdated versions can bring risks, as security vulnerabilities are often addressed only in the latest maintained version.
