Odoo provides standard support for each version for three years after release. Odoo 17 was released in November 2023 and its standard support ended in September 2026, with the arrival of Odoo 20.
If your company is still on Odoo 17, the system works as before, but the fixes and updates of standard support stop. In this note we explain what that means and your options.

What losing standard support means
Standard support includes Odoo’s helpdesk, bug fixes and security updates. When it ends, those fixes are no longer released for that version.
Odoo offers extended support for an additional fee: available on-premise for any version and on Odoo.sh only for some. During that period, fixes are provided only where technically feasible.
Your options
Upgrade to Odoo 19
A stable version, supported until September 2028. The most conservative option if you have many custom developments.
Upgrade to Odoo 20
The newest version, supported until September 2029, with AI that executes tasks and offline mode. See what Odoo 20 brings.
Buy extended support
It gives you time to plan, at an extra cost. Best as a transition, not a permanent solution.
Upgrading to Odoo 18 gives you only one more year of standard support: it ends in September 2027.

Frequently asked questions
Will my Odoo 17 stop working?
No. The system keeps working; what ends is standard support: bug fixes and security updates.
Can I jump straight from Odoo 17 to Odoo 20?
Yes. Under Odoo’s policy, you can upgrade to any version under current support. The effort depends on custom developments and integrations.
How long does an upgrade take?
It depends on the number of custom modules, integrations and data. We estimate it in the assessment.
I am on Odoo 16 or earlier, what should I do?
