Product updates do not include products or features sold separately or new products and features that Looker may develop and release for additional fees. Customer may add such new functionality and/or features to the Product that it subscribes to upon payment of the additional fees. Customer agrees that its Subscription is not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features nor is it dependent upon any oral or written public comments made by Looker with respect to future functionality or features.
- End of Life Policy. Looker provides active support to the most recent minor release (e.g. 6.4), the previous two minor releases (e.g. 6.2, 6.0) and the most recent Extended Support Release. Beyond these releases, we consider versions End-of-Life (EOL) as designated by the Officially Supported Releases.
