The Support for Magento 1 Ends in 2020

If you have not migrated to Magento 2, you must know that Magento 1.x Support End Date is nearing. Take a look at the policy Magento released for Magento 1 Support. It also applies to the Magento 2 version of Enterprise, also known as Magento Commerce.
The policy states that Magento will keep releasing security patches for versions 1.9 – 1.12 only until Magento 1.x support end date – June 2020.
