Outdated Technologies
Every end is a new beginning

Software changes over time, and so does yFiles. We develop our diagramming SDK for new technologies as these become established. And although we support outdated yFiles versions for a very long time, we have to say goodbye at some point.

Easy migration

Thanks to similar APIs across the different technologies, it’s easy to migrate between yFiles products to cover new platforms. So there’s no need to start from scratch! If you want to use another yFiles variant, talk to our team and we will assist you with the migration!
