Supported platformsSupported platforms

Please be aware that we expect our on-premise customers to make a reasonable effort to host Pure on up-to-date components. This also includes components not explicitly mentioned below if they are involved in serving requests to the Pure web applications, for example Apache, Nginx, and other network components. Being able to provide an effective support service presupposes this, and in general the first step in any Pure issue where it is not case will be to rectify this.

 

Upcoming deprecation

As announced at the Pure Conference 2023, the last on-premises feature release for Pure will be in February 2026 with version 5.35.0 (Ref1).

To receive new features for Pure after this date, your institution will need to migrate to a hosted solution managed by the Elsevier Pure team. The process for migrating to a cloud solution is briefly covered in (Ref1) with more details available in (Ref2, Ref3).
