Latest updates for Microsoft SQL Server.

Each of the products has its own Technical Support Policy, which determine the lifetime and scope of product support.

The 2016 version was the last to which SP appeared. As of 2017, only Cumulative Updates (CU) will be available.

Extended Security Updates (ESU)

For some releases, customers also have the option to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU). It includes Critical and/or Important security updates for a maximum of three years after the product’s End of Extended Support date. Customers can also get technical support for the ESU period as long as they also have an active support plan.

More information is available on the Microsoft SQL Server website.
