Question 1

What happens when Libreoffice reaches end of life?

Accepted Answer

When Libreoffice reaches end of life, it stops receiving security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Currently, 7 Libreoffice versions are already EOL. The latest supported version is Libreoffice 26.2, maintained until November 30, 2026. Running an EOL version exposes your systems to unpatched security vulnerabilities with no official fix available.

Question 2

Is Libreoffice 26.2 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Libreoffice 26.2 is actively supported until November 30, 2026. It receives security patches and bug fixes. Check the version table above for the full list of supported Libreoffice releases and their exact end-of-life dates.

Question 3

Is it safe to use Libreoffice after end of life?

Accepted Answer

No. Running Libreoffice after EOL is not safe for production systems. Once a version reaches end of life, newly discovered CVEs are published publicly but never patched — leaving your systems permanently exposed. The only safe path is upgrading to an actively supported Libreoffice release.

Question 4

How to upgrade from Libreoffice 25.2 to Libreoffice 26.x?

Accepted Answer

To upgrade Libreoffice from 25.2 to 26.2: (1) review the official migration guide for breaking changes, (2) test your application against the new version in a staging environment, (3) update dependencies that have version constraints, (4) run your full test suite, (5) deploy with a rollback plan. The earlier you start, the more time you have to resolve compatibility issues before EOL.

Question 5

When is the next Libreoffice LTS version?

Accepted Answer

Not all Libreoffice releases have a designated LTS status. Check the version table above — LTS releases are marked with an "LTS" badge. Refer to the official Libreoffice release policy for information on upcoming long-term support versions.

Question 6

How long does Libreoffice support each version?

Accepted Answer

On average, Libreoffice supports each release for approximately 11 months (~0.9 years).  The exact EOL date for each version is listed in the table above.
