# Microsoft support for .NET
|
|
|
|
Microsoft supports .NET on multiple operating systems, per the [Microsoft Modern Lifecycle](https://support.microsoft.com/help/30881/modern-lifecycle-policy).
|
|
|
|
Support is provided for: .NET SDK, .NET runtime, ASP.NET Core, and EF Core.
|
|
|
|
Support has two key benefits:
|
|
|
|
* Patches are provided (for free) as required for functional or security issues, typically monthly.
|
|
* You can [contact Microsoft support to request help](https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness/onboarding) (potentially at a cost).
|
|
|
|
You can also request community support on GitHub (for free), but there is no guarantee on a quick reply.
|
|
|
|
Support is conditional on using the latest .NET patch update and a supported operating system, as defined by:
|
|
|
|
* [.NET release policies](release-policies.md)
|
|
* [.NET release lifecycle](releases.md)
|
|
* [Operating system lifecycle](os-lifecycle-policy.md).
|
|
|
|
Knowing key dates for a product lifecycle helps you make informed decisions about when to upgrade or make other changes to your software and computing environment.
