Notes: SAP (January 2024): mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP 6.0 ends in 2025, 2027 or 2030 depending on the enhancement package; customers with no enhancement package or EHP 1-5 can extend mainstream maintenance to 2027 by upgrading to EHP 6-8. The exact end date for EHP 0-5 is not given in the fetched SAP sources (SAP Note 1648480 requires an SAP login), so no date is shown.

What the end of support means
- After the final end date the software keeps running, but the vendor no longer ships fixes or security patches. Known vulnerabilities stay open, and compliance or cyber-insurance requirements may treat it as unsupported software.
Upgrade paths
Move to SAP ERP Central Component (ECC 6.0) 6.0 EHP 6-8
This is the successor recorded for this version (see notes and sources).
Upgrade to a supported SAP ERP Central Component (ECC 6.0) version
Staying on the same product usually means the least retraining. Check the upgrade path and system requirements in the vendor documentation; some upgrades must go through an intermediate version.
Re-platform to a different ERP
An end of support is a natural point to compare other systems, including cloud ERP. Re-platforming is usually a bigger project than a version upgrade, so compare total cost over several years, not just the first year.
Stay put for now (with risks)
The software keeps running after support ends, but without vendor fixes, tax/regulatory updates or security patches. Third-party support, where available, is not vendor support and cannot provide vendor patches.
