Viewer Support Policy

As described in T's March 2009 blog post, our policy is to support the newest Official Viewer, the previous Official Viewer, and the last released Beta or Release Candidate Viewer - e.g. Viewer 2 (2.1.0), Viewer 1.23 (1.23.5), and the last Beta version, 2.1.1 Beta.

Deprecation Policy Because we support only the current version and one version back, sixty (60) days after the release of a new official Viewer, the oldest Second Life Release will be deprecated. At that time, residents attempting to login using the deprecated version will be required to update to the newest Second Life Release. Should you wish to use a supported Viewer other than the newest one, download links have been provided below.

Note: At this time, Viewer 1.23 remains an exception to the above-stated policy, as there are no immediate plans to deprecate it.
