In July 2010, Adobe Systems renamed Day CQ5 as Adobe CQ5 following the acquisition of Day Software. The remaining versions, CQ 5.4 and CQ 5.5, were released as Adobe CQ 5.4 and Adobe CQ 5.5 in 2011 and 2012 respectively. In 2013, Adobe Systems again renamed it to Adobe Experience Manager and released a new version, AEM 5.6. The latest version of AEM, Adobe Experience Manager 6.2 was released recently in 2016.
