This page provides information about the Enscape Long-Term Support (LTS) version.


## **Overview**

---

A Long-Term Support (LTS) version is a stable release of Enscape that receives bug fixes for an extended period. LTS versions suit long-running projects and large deployments where stability and predictability take priority over access to the latest features.

> ⚠️ Only one Enscape version is installed per Windows user. Select either an LTS version or the latest monthly released version. Selecting an LTS version means you cannot have the latest monthly release on your machine at the same time, and vice versa.

> ℹ️ LTS releases start with Enscape 4.18.2.


## **LTS Version Scope**

---

The LTS version focuses on stability. It receives bug fixes for critical and high-impact issues throughout the support window, but it does not add new features, interface changes, or workflow changes. This keeps the environment predictable for the life of the release.


| **LTS version includes** | **LTS version does not include** |
| --- | --- |
| Bug fixes for critical and high-impact issues throughout the support window | New features |
| A predictable environment with no UI or workflow changes | Support for newly released CAD or BIM host versions, including compatibility with new releases of SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, ArchiCAD, and Vectorworks |


For the latest features and host support, use the [latest monthly Enscape version](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/enscape/pages/840663051).

## **Install the LTS version**

---

Install the Enscape LTS version the same way as the latest Enscape version. For the full steps, see the [Installation](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/enscape/pages/842039298) page. Note that only one Enscape version is installed per Windows user. Selecting an LTS version means that you can’t have the latest monthly released version at the same time.

> ✅ Chaos maintains online documentation for the latest monthly released Enscape version only. For information about the user interface and features of the LTS versions, see the [Archived](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/enscape/pages/842104834) page and download the documentation for the required version.
