On Oct 10, 2023, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 will reach End of Support (EOS), and these products will no longer receive security updates, non-security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft. This puts your business, data, applications, and infrastructure at risk from security vulnerabilities and regulatory non-compliance.

Eligible Microsoft customers with Software Assurance under an Enterprise Agreement may also purchase Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 and SQL Server 2012. This can add up to many millions of dollars over the 3-year period.
