Older versions of Experience Manager documentation older-version-aem-documentation

The versions of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager, CQ, and CRX listed on this page are End of Life and no longer officially sold by ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ’s last versions of official documentation for these older versions are available for your self-help needs. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ recommends that you upgrade to the latest version - ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager as a Cloud Service.

NOTE
To know when an Experience Manager version reaches end of core support, see and search AEM.

Before you install before-installation

Before you download the package, determine who consumes the content. This decision determines how it is deployed:

  • Developers can install locally for quick reference.
  • For broader organizational documentation needs, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ recommends that the package is deployed on an internally accessible, non-production AEM Author instance.
NOTE
Users must be logged into the Experience Manager instance to access this content on Experience Manager Author. This content is not accessible by default on AEM Publish (as it exists under /libs).
