Notes: SAP (September 2022): starting with release 2023, SAP S/4HANA moves to a two-year release cycle with seven years of mainstream maintenance per release (up from five years); SAP's commitment that until 2040 there will always be at least one SAP S/4HANA release in maintenance is unchanged. The exact maintenance end date for release 2023 is published on the SAP Support Portal, which we could not check (login / robots.txt), 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
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.
