- Product Appendices (June 2026), Appendix J §6: the SLES for SAP Applications (x86-64, ppc64le) Subscription includes Extended Service Pack Overlap Support (ESPOS), which extends the benefit period of a Service Pack on the same conditions as LTSS. SUSE lifecycle policy: each SLES for SAP 12 and higher Service Pack gets 1.5 years of General Support plus 3 years of ESPOS, so LTSS is needed only for the final Service Pack of a release.
