Legacy CryptoAPI-based (RC4) Codec
- It is unsupported.
- It is disabled in all default build configurations.
- It may not be possible to build binaries with it enabled.
Design-Time Components for Visual Studio
- They will still be built and included in the release packages.
- However, they will no longer be "officially supported".
- The forum may still be used to ask questions about them.
- However, any tickets opened for them will be deleted.
- Due to changes in the Visual Studio package installation model, they are not supported by Visual Studio 2017 and later versions.
Release Packages
- Release packages for non-current releases will be archived.
- Access to archived release packages will be granted on a case-by-case basis.
Forum
SQLite has an active forum and support community and users of the System.Data.SQLite project available on this web site are encouraged to use these for support questions.
The SQLite Forum has been established to help support SQLite and System.Data.SQLite.
Off-site archives of the (legacy) sqlite-users mailing list are available at:
- https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org/ (old address, before mid-February 2015)
- https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40mailinglists.sqlite.org/ (new address, after mid-February 2015)

Direct E-Mail
Use the SQLite Forum. Please do not send email directly to the authors of SQLite or System.Data.SQLite unless:
- You have or intend to acquire a professional support contract.
- You are working on an open source project.
You are welcomed to use SQLite and System.Data.SQLite in closed source, proprietary, and/or commercial projects and to ask questions about such use on the forum. But please do not ask to receive free direct technical support. The software is free; direct technical support is not.
