App-V Server support extended through 2029
App-V Server-Support bis 2029 verlängert
Microsoft announcement
What and why:
Microsoft is returning Application Virtualization (App-V) server to extended support (as part of the Fixed Lifecycle policy) for an additional three years, through October 9, 2029. This extension gives your organization additional time to continue operating your existing App-V server deployments while evaluating a longer-term application delivery strategy. The long-term plan is to adopt Azure Virtual Desktop App Attach and migrate to the modern Windows app packaging format, MSIX.
Rollout schedule:
- April 2026: App-V server originally reached end of support.
- October 2026: App-V server remains in fixed extended support.
- October 9, 2029: App-V server extended support will end.
Impact on your organization:
Only App-V server remains in extended support. App-V client and sequencer follow the lifecycle of their corresponding Windows version.
Action required/recommendations:
Since App-V server is no longer in active development, start migrating toward supported alternatives. Learn more in App-V server support extended through October 9, 2029 and App-V in Windows support policy.
Compliance considerations:
No compliance considerations are identified. Review as appropriate for your organization.
