  • Service Level Agreements include 1 hour response for any critical case raised.  For details on all SLAs available, see HP Support & Maintenance Terms and Conditions.
  • Major Release updates are published regularly and include new features, bug fixes and security updates.  Instructions are provided on how to upgrade to the next major "general support" release.  
  • Minor Maintenance updates are published regularly and include bug fixes and security updates.  Instructions are provided on how to upgrade to the next minor release.  
  • Bug fixes and security fixes will be delivered in either the next major "general support" release or the next minor maintenance release.
