If you're using Liferay Community Edition (CE), or are an SI that has customers who do, you probably know (well, if you've been anywhere near this site this year you definitely know!) that the final version of Liferay CE was in early 2025, and that from the 2026.Q1 release of Liferay DXP we've made a Free Tier available to anyone that wants it.

But, what does this actually mean if you're using CE today? What are your options, and where do you go from here?

On June 30th I'll be hosting two identical webinars where we'll provide an open and honest view on the three (or four) paths that you could take, and to help you move ahead with confidence.

What you'll learn:

1. What actually changed. What the end of Community Edition means in practice for existing CE installations.
2. Your four options. Enterprise, Free Tier, GitHub self-build, or staying on CE — with honest pros and cons for each path.
3. Free Tier in depth. What’s included, what’s not, how activation keys work, and how to get started.
4. When Enterprise makes sense. Clear signals that your project has outgrown the Free Tier — and how straightforward the upgrade process is.
5. Active promotions. Available discounts and migration support through the Core Upgrade Program, including eligibility details.
6. Live Q&A. Ask questions during the session and get direct answers from the Liferay team.

When is the webinar?

It's taking place on Tuesday, June 30th. There are two identical sessions to cater for as many timezone as possible. Your options are:

How do I join?

Simple - just visit here and register for your preferred session!

What if I can't make it?

Register anyway - we'll be making a recording available after the session, and if you register but can't attend we'll make a special effort to let you know!

Cheers - see you all there!
