We would like to remind all customers that Mainstream support for SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) and Mainstream support for SQL Server 2005 SP1 will both end on April 8, 2008 (see previous blog). Microsoft will continue technical support for these versions, which also includes security updates for these Service Packs. Microsoft is ending Mainstream support for these products as part of our Service Pack support policy, found https://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle.

 

Customers are encouraged to prepare and execute on their upgrade and/or sustained engineering plans as early as possible for these SQL versions. Remaining current on your service pack installation ensures that your products remain supported per the Support Lifecycle policy. Additionally, your software benefits from the many enhancements, fixes, and security updates provided through the latest service pack.

 

Microsoft is offering Custom Support for companies that have not had a chance to migrate, but wish to maintain their existing IT environment while they migrate to a supported product.

    I understand that SQL Server 2005 SP2  end-of-maintstream-support has not been announced. Can Microsoft inform users on how long ahead of the actual end-of-maintstream-support date the announcement will be made?

    Just got off the phone with Microsoft Support.  We are running SQL 2000 SP4 and we are in the middle of a restore and receiving errors.  I was told by Support that this is an obsolete product and that I can go to MS forums for free support.  What exactly does "extended support" mean?

    Uh, no it's not free.  You have to buy a currently supported version.
