How to access your Postman support requests

Built with

Older versions of Postman will become obsolete on October 31, 2023. For a secure and uninterrupted Postman experience, we highly recommend upgrading to a supported version.

What does “end of life” mean, and will it affect my usage?

“End of life” means older versions will no longer receive updates or support. After this date, unsupported versions will no longer work, necessitating an update.

What are the versions impacted?

  • The Postman Chrome app.
  • Postman v6 or lower.

What are the desktop versions supported?

We actively support Postman Desktop versions v9 through v11, which receive important updates and security fixes.

Versions v7 and v8 are deprecated and will soon reach the end of life. They won’t receive any further security updates. To maintain security for your Postman experience, we recommend upgrading to v11.

  • Note: Postman v7 and v8 are deprecated. To learn more, read What to expect from the deprecated versions of Postman Desktop app v7 and v8?

How to keep my data safe when I update

Your data will transition smoothly when updating to a supported version (v7 or higher). However, we recommend exporting your data to be safe.

  • Note: Tokens or cookies stored locally may not be carried over during the update, but your History , Collections , and Workspaces will sync.

How to upgrade to the latest version

Migrating from Chrome

  • Download Postman and sign in to your account . Start the native app, and your history and collections will be automatically synced.
  • Note: If you can’t use the desktop app, use the VSCode extension to continue using Postman.

Migrating from a native desktop version

  • Open Postman > Settings > Update .

My update fails

  • If the update doesn’t work, ensure no firewall or proxy is blocking the update .

  • Go to our download page to download the latest version.

  • Note: If your company blocks you from using a more recent Postman version, consider the Postman Enterprise app or the VSCode extension to continue using Postman.
