  The installation of the MAX IV linear accelerator is in full progress, and commissioning is planned to start in the second quarter of 2014. The 3 GeV linac will be used as a full energy injector for the two storage rings, and as a high brightness driver for a Short Pulse linac light source. The linac has been deigned to also handle the high demands of an FEL injector. The long term strategic plan for the MAX IV laboratory includes an extension of the linac to 5 GeV and an X-ray FEL. In this paper we present the both design concept and status of the MAX IV linac along with parameters of the 3 GeV high quality electron pulses. We also present the first design and simulation results of the upgrade to a 5 GeV X-ray FEL driver.
