Did you know…
SAP S/4HANA On-Premise customers on legacy versions get free extended maintenance when they move to a RISE with SAP subscription.
That’s correct “legacy SAP S/4HANA“, we’re already at that point where S/4HANA is starting to lose versions.
We are talking specifically about customers on S/4HANA versions 1709, 1809, and 1909.
“Customers having subscribed to RISE with SAP or legacy subscription models, for example, subscription for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, take advantage of the option where extended maintenance is included at no additional fee.“
Here are the significant dates for those mentioned On-Premise releases:
Release | End of Mainstream Maint | End of Extended Maint |
---|
1709 | 31.12.2022 | 31.12.2025 |
1809 | 31.12.2023 | 31.12.2025 |
1909 | 31.12.2024 | 31.12.2025 |
2020 | 31.12.2025 | ? |
2021 | 31.12.2026 | ? |
2022 | 31.12.2027 | ? |
2023 | ? | |
Wow, 2025 is going to be a busy year for SAP. Have a guess what release those customers will be moving to (assuming they choose S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition) if they have not already started? See my previous post here for my thinking on that one.
