This Legacy Support Policy applies to MongoDB Server versions lower than 5.0. If you are using MongoDB 5.0 or higher, please see our new Software Support Policy and Cloud Services Support Policy.

Support is only available in English and for versions of the Software identified by MongoDB, Inc. ("MongoDB") as Stable Releases.

Customer agrees to: (i) provide MongoDB with reasonable detail of the nature of and circumstances surrounding the Error, (ii) provide MongoDB with reasonable access to Customer's environment as necessary to enable MongoDB to provide Support; and (iii) provide MongoDB with reasonable cooperation in the diagnosis and resolution of any Errors.

The terms of Support for our currently available subscriptions are defined below.

MongoDB has no obligation to provide any Support to Customer: (i) for any software, hardware or other element of the Customer environment not provided by MongoDB, (ii) if Customer or a third party has altered or modified any portion of the Software, (iii) if Customer has not used the Software in accordance with Documentation or instructions provided by MongoDB, including failure to follow implementation procedures, or (iv) if Customer has failed to replace earlier versions of the Software with Updates made available to Customer.

With your consent, MongoDB may share information related to a particular support case with your other relevant service providers that are MongoDB partners in order to troubleshoot and resolve the support case.

MongoDB only provides Support for the Stable Release of the Software. Support is effective immediately upon the release of a new Generally Available (“GA”) Stable Release of the Software, and Support will be in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after this release date or one year from the release date of the next Update (excluding Maintenance Versions), whichever is longer.

Changes to MongoDB Legacy Support Policy

Last Updated: January 19, 2024
