We’ve announced that Concrete version 8 is end of life and only getting critical security updates several times over the last 12 months. At the same time we’ve been hard at work on a new marketplace that makes it much easier to extend your Concrete site with great add-ons and themes. We’re now just about ready to launch that marketplace, everyone’s super excited!
It doesn’t really make sense to sell extensions for a product we’re actively telling people to upgrade away from. Moreover, supporting the seamless marketplace integration we’ve developed in older v8 Concrete felt like a lot of work backwards. For these reasons, we are officially announcing and end of v8 extension sales & support through the marketplace as of May 15, 2024.
What does this mean?
If you have a v8 site, you should check that any add-on/theme upgrades have been applied asap.
If you have unused v8 licenses in our marketplace, you should download those packages asap.
If you have purchased a version 9 extension within the last 12 months, those licenses will move over to the new marketplace.
If your purchases are older than 12 months, and/or if they are for v8 extensions, you will no longer be able to download those packages from us after May 15th.
