Extended Security Updates are critical if you want to continue safely running Windows Server and SQL Server workloads on versions that are out of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extended Security Updates have been available for SQL Server\/Windows Server 2008\/2008 R2 since support ended, but will themselves end on July 9, 2022 and January 14, 2023 respectively. If you\u2019re running these older products in Azure then you get 3 years of free Extended Security Updates, and Microsoft have just announced that one more year of Extended Security Updates will be available only on Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also time to think about support ending for SQL Server 2012 on July 12, 2022, and for Windows Server 2012\/2012 R2 on October 23, 2023. 3 years of Extended Security Updates will once again be available and, again, they will be free for customers running these versions in Azure. Customers will also be able to purchase ESUs through an Enterprise Agreement for on-premises workloads if they have active Software Assurance on their licences. They will just need to buy licences for the servers they need to cover, and costs will be 75% of the licence cost for the first year, 100% of the licence cost for the second year, and 125% of the licence cost for the third year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
