About Long-Term support (LTS) projects
Long-Term Support (LTS) project versions enable tracking of vulnerability data for released product versions. LTS projects are intended for software already in use by end users or customers. Designed with scalability in mind, LTS projects can support extremely high volumes of project versions.
LTS project versions retain minimal data from Active project versions, focusing on tracking newly discovered vulnerabilities in the components within the LTS Bill of Materials (BOM). When converting an Active version to LTS, a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is automatically created to facilitate sharing with required third parties. While LTS version do not currently support notifications, they will receive new vulnerability data as it is published to the Black Duck KnowledgeBase.
