Windows IoT Enterprise Release History
The Windows IoT Enterprise product line is intended for special-purpose devices. These devices are typically found in industries including, but not limited to, banking, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and retail. Windows IoT Enterprise is a derivative of Windows Enterprise and as such includes advanced security, management and lockdown capabilities required to support special-purpose devices in an enterprise environment.
There are currently three products offerings in the Windows IoT Enterprise product line each of which contain multiple releases. For more information, see...
Each of the Windows IoT Enterprise product offerings is available for device makers through an authorized Windows IoT Distributor for building new devices. To learn more about licensing Windows IoT Enterprise, see Licensing and Usage.
Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC
Windows IoT Enterprise is available through the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) to provide a 10-year support lifecycle for special-purpose devices where changes in functionality aren't desirable. New LTSC releases are typically provided on a three year cadence, but timing can vary from one release to the next. We communicate variances in this cadence as early as possible. For more information, see Windows as a service - Long-Term Servicing Channel.
Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC releases follow the Fixed Lifecycle Policy where each release is supported for 10 years and requires a separate license.
