EE1 No Longer Included for New Licenses

Stefan Rechsteiner reminded me with his tweet that today, December 5th, is the day that EE1 is no longer offered as a license option when you buy ExpressionEngine. Almost 2 years to the day, EllisLab released the ExpressionEngine 2 Public beta. It is certainly due time to retire the old and focus solely on the new.

The blog post last month from EllisLab with the detail has all the information you’ll need. Including important bits:

If you absolutely must start projects on EE 1.x, please email sales and we’ll work out a solution for you.

Please note that if you already own ExpressionEngine 1.x, download access will not be affected by this change.

Of course, support isn’t gone immediately but it won’t be around forever:

Second, as of April 23rd 2012, ExpressionEngine 1.x will no longer be publicly supported. If you have mission critical projects that need support, we’re happy to continue supporting EE 1.x through private & enterprise support contracts.
