 ## Support policy

-**If you need support, please first make sure you're [sponsoring the project](https://github.com/sponsors/kevinchalet) or are a regular contributor**:
-GitHub tickets opened by users who haven't contributed to the project or don't actively sponsor it will be automatically closed.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Depending on the tier you selected, you can open a GitHub ticket or send an email to [contact@openiddict.com](mailto:contact@openiddict.com) for private support.
->
-> Alternatively, you can also post your question on [Gitter](https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#openiddict_openiddict-core:gitter.im).
-
-**Support is only offered for the latest stable version of OpenIddict**. There are, however, two exceptions to this policy:
-  - **ABP Framework users receive patches for OpenIddict for as long as ABP Framework itself is supported by Volosoft**
-  (typically a year following the release of a major ABP version), whether they have a commercial ABP license or just use the free packages:
-
-  | OpenIddict branch | ABP Framework branch | End of support date (estimated) |

-  | 6.x               | 9.x                  | Currently supported             |
-  | 7.x (current)     | Not supported yet    | Not supported yet               |

-  - **OpenIddict sponsors are offered extended support depending on the selected sponsorship tier:**
-    - Tier 6 sponsors get full support for the previous version 1 month following the release of a new major version.
