.NET 8 loses support November 10, 2026: move CMS 12 to .NET 10 or upgrade to CMS 13

Optimizely confirmed in May 2026 that CMS 12 supports .NET 10, so the deadline forces a framework move, not a new version. CMS 13, available since March 31, 2026, requires .NET 10 and Optimizely Graph, and drops Search & Navigation (Find).

What you get

What your report contains

  • Upgrade inventory

    Custom code, add-ons and integrations, sorted by what upgrades cleanly and what needs rework.

  • Options compared

    Move CMS 12 to .NET 10 now and plan CMS 13 later, upgrade to CMS 13 directly, or move to Optimizely SaaS CMS or another platform.

  • 3-year cost view

    Licence, hosting, support, build effort and internal time for each option, shown as ranges.

  • Recommended path and timeline

    The option we would pick in your place, the order of work and the dates to hit.

02

Each option over 3 years

Stay, upgrade or move, with build effort and running costs shown as ranges side by side.

03

Risk of waiting

What changes if you do nothing for 12 months: support status, security exposure and rising upgrade effort.

One-page summary

The recommendation, the cost and the timeline on one page you can forward to finance or your board.
