Does pfSense branded hardware get lifetime OS upgrades?

… or at least as long as the hardware requirements can handle it? I assume if pfSense goes quantum while I'm still alive I'd probably need the new SG-2220q model but until then.
I understand there's a 1-year support warranty for creating tickets but I didn't know if the optimized pfSense OS build for the equipment gets continual updates or if that stops after a year because I can't find that in the
Thanks!

You can actually download them without a contract, you just need the Netgate ADI RCC-VE image if you bought the appliance from pfSense.
Go to:
https://www.pfsense.org/download/Select the install for the latest stable.
Select Netgate ADI from the drop list. -
Not the same thing. The builds provided by pfSense are designed with the hardware they sell in mind. Tweaked a bit more because they support the hardware.

I wasn't aware there were additional tweaks to the ADI image.
Assuming the worst case scenario, you'd have to keep the last image available and use the in-place upgrade from the WebGUI.

There is no specific end date of OS upgrades, it's not tied to your support. At some point it'll no longer meet hardware requirements, but that's a ways down the road.
