Each link in the first column takes you to the installation

instructions for the corresponding platform. Docker EE is an integrated,

operating systems.

## Docker EE feature tiers
28+
29+
Docker EE is available in three tiers:
30+
31+
- **Basic:** The Docker platform for certified infrastructure, with support
32+
from Docker Inc. and certified containers and plugins from Docker Store.
33+
- **Standard:** Adds advanced image and container management, LDAP/AD user
34+
integration, and role-based access control. Together, these features
35+
comprise Docker Enterprise Edition.
36+
- **Advanced:** Adds
37+
[Docker Security Scanning](https://blog.docker.com/2016/05/docker-security-scanning/)
38+
and continuous vulnerability monitoring.
39+
40+
## Docker Enterprise Edition release cycles
41+
42+
Docker EE is released quarterly. Releases use a time-based versioning
43+
scheme, so for example, Docker EE version 17.03 was released
44+
in March 2017. For schedule details, see
45+
[Time-based release schedule](/engine/installation/#time-based-release-schedule).
46+
47+
Each Docker EE release is supported and maintained for one year and
48+
receives security and critical bug fixes during this period.
49+
50+
The Docker API version is independent of the Docker platform version. The API
51+
version doesn't change from Docker 1.13.1 to Docker 17.03. We maintain
52+
careful API backward compatibility and deprecate APIs and features slowly and
53+
conservatively. We remove features after deprecating them for a period of
54+
three stable releases. Docker 1.13 introduced improved interoperability
55+
between clients and servers using different API versions, including dynamic
56+
feature negotiation.
57+
58+
## Upgrades and support
59+
60+
If you're a Docker DDC or CS Engine customer, you don't need to upgrade to
61+
Docker EE to continue to get support. We will continue to support customers
62+
with valid subscriptions whether the subscription covers Docker EE or
63+
Commercially Supported Docker. You can choose to stay with your current
64+
deployed version, or you can upgrade to the latest Docker EE version. For
65+
more info, see [Scope of Coverage and Maintenance
66+
Lifecycle](https://success.docker.com/Policies/Scope_of_Support).
