Retired Software

This page lists the applications that we have retired. These applications should not be used. They will no longer receive security updates or technical support.

PKP has a proven track record of supporting long-term, sustainable publishing solutions. Over the last 20 years, our software has gone from a curious experiment to the backbone of publishing ecosystems around the world. And that is down to our commitment to the long-term development of our software and the community of scholars and publishers who rely on it.

For that reason, it is always difficult for us to retire one of our applications. However, in some cases, we must take the decision to end support. When we do this, we do so in order to ensure that we can focus our limited resources on our most important applications.
