  • SAP S/4HANA maintenance commitment. SAP commits to maintain a sequence of SAP S/4HANA releases until 31 December 2040, so at least one release is always in maintenance. [1]
  • SAP Business Suite 7 maintenance. Mainstream maintenance for the core applications' latest three enhancement packages runs until end of 2027, followed by optional extended maintenance until end of 2030. [1]
  • SAP S/4HANA release cycle. From SAP S/4HANA 2023 SAP moved to a two-year release cycle with seven years of mainstream maintenance per release, up from five. [8]
  • SAP Business One release family. At least five years of mainstream maintenance per release family from the major release GA date; no extended maintenance. [2]
  • SAP BusinessObjects BI maintenance. BI 20xx releases get three years of mainstream maintenance followed directly by customer-specific maintenance; priority-one support is no longer offered for BI 4.3 and BI 20xx. [3][4]
