• Microsoft products and their service packs that are released during an existing K2 release cycle will not be targeted for support until the following release cycle at the earliest.
• Microsoft cumulative updates that are released during an existing K2 release cycle will not be targeted for support until the following release cycle at the earliest.  There are no guarantees that issues found in K2 to be caused by a cumulative update will be addressed by K2.  In some cases, K2 may require an official service pack from Microsoft to provide support.  Details about any potential issues found with a cumulative update will be made available in a KB article or a Known Issues list accompanying a K2 update.
• K2 will deprecate support for a Microsoft product or service pack level or technology when a newer release has been available more than 12 months at the target time of the K2 release.
• K2 releases will continue to support the Microsoft product or service pack level supported at the time of the K2 release. Microsoft product support deprecation will only occur with new K2 releases.
• To ensure stability in a release cycle, K2 will support a prior Microsoft release when the latest release has been available less than 12 months at the target time of the K2 release.
• K2 releases may require a dependency on the latest .NET Framework or Visual Studio release. In this case, regardless of Microsoft availability timeline, K2 will only support the latest .NET Framework or Visual Studio release.

For more information about the product releases, see the K2 Release Strategy article.
