Liferay Portal Standard Edition (SE) is offered at no cost under the business-friendly MIT Open Source license for use by early adopters and developers in non-critical environments. Liferay Portal SE is community supported and includes the latest in features.
Liferay Enterprise Edition (EE) offers a more hardened, stable version of Liferay SE that guarantees ongoing long-term support with a combined subscription and support package. This caters to organizations seeking to build on top of and maintain one stable version of the product over an extended period of time.
The EE release cycle will be less frequent than the SE. However, each enterprise version will be supported for a number of years with bug fixes backported to your version for the life of your subscription. Please see the EOSL Policy page for a detailed description.
Liferay's professional services team offers training and consulting on the Enterprise Edition to ensure long-term support and stability for our clients.
