Move for Change – SAP ERP Maintenance TimelinesSAP has extended mainstream maintenance for the last three enhancement packages of SAP ERP 6 (EHP 6, 7, and 8) until the end of 2027. Earlier enhancement packages will end on December 31, 2025. Customers on these last packages can extend maintenance until December 31, 2030, for an additional 2% fee on the maintenance base for on-premise customers, while ERP Private Cloud customers have this fee included in their subscription. After 2027 or 2030, depending on the chosen option, these versions will automatically transition to customer-specific maintenance, which offers limited support. To help customers transition to SAP S/4HANA, SAP introduced the SAP Customer Evolution Kit, which outlines the value and process for moving to RISE with SAP and other cloud solutions, guiding organizations toward becoming intelligent, sustainable enterprises.
