Planning for 2026
As 2025 draws towards a close, many clients are preparing for the year ahead. Archer is pleased to share key updates to support your 2026 planning.
SaaS
Archer will maintain the same release cadence in 2026, with five planned SaaS Feature Releases:
· 2026.02
· 2026.04
· 2026.06
· 2026.08
· 2026.10
Please see this SaaS Announcement for full details.
OnPrem Release & Long-Term Support (LTS)
The annual OnPrem Feature Release, 2025.12, will be available for download in mid-January. It will include all applicable features, enhancements, and fixes from the 2025 SaaS releases, along with OnPrem-specific updates.
For 2026, 2025.12 will serve as the designated LTS release. Archer recommends all OnPrem clients upgrade annually—ideally in Q1—to the LTS version. Under Archer’s Product Version Life Cycle for the Archer Suite and Software Defect Fix Policy, only the current designated LTS release will receive Update Releases throughout the year.
Please note:
- 2024.11 was the LTS release for 2025. Update Releases for it will end in December 2025.
- Clients on 2024.11 or its Update Releases will continue to receive Technical Support, but defect fixes will only be provided in the current LTS or its updates.

As noted in the announcement, the internal timeline targets a date in mid-January, so barring any major changes to that schedule, I would anticipate it being announced as available for download in myArcher no later than sometime in the week of 1/18/2026.

Thanks for these dates. We were waiting to find out when the next LTS release would be available for on-prem clients.
