Release Delivery
NetSuite delivers changes to customers in one of three ways:
-
Major release – NetSuite features two major releases each year. For all major releases of NetSuite, customers are upgraded in phases over a period of a few months.
Before the upgrade, customers can request access to a Release Preview account to test the new features using their data and business processes. For more information, see the Requesting a Release Preview Account.
-
E-fix – An e-fix is a scheduled maintenance release used to resolve customer–reported issues that do not require immediate attention but should be fixed prior to a major release. Each e-fix is rolled out to all customers at the same time. For more information, see e-Fix Release Notification.
-
Hot push – A hot push is an update that occurs outside of the release schedule to fix critical customer-reported issues that cannot wait for the next scheduled e-fix. A hot push is typically rolled out to a specific customer or set of customers.
