The 24-month support period begins on the initial release date for each version of NGINX Plus, as noted in the table.

For this reason, we advise customers to run the most recent release. -The initial release dates for NGINX Plus are noted in this document. -New releases are announced on the [NGINX Product Support Announcements](https://interact.f5.com/Customer-Preference-Center.html) mailing list. ## NGINX Plus Release 34 (R34)
