How to read the Product Life Cycle

General Availability Phase starts when the product is released and ends when a new version is released or 18 months later, on the last day of the month shown in the table.

The product will then stay in mature support until a new major version of the product is released.

For all non-retired versions of ArcGIS Pro, the last version of UK Data Loader that supports it will remain in mature support. e.g. v1.0 of UK Data Loader remained in Mature support until May 2019 as it was the last version to support ArcGIS Pro 2.1
