Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Microsoft SQL Server 2025 still supported?
Yes. The Microsoft SQL Server 2025 is currently supported by Microsoft, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the Microsoft SQL Server 2025 end of service life (EOSL) date?
Microsoft lists the end of service life for the Microsoft SQL Server 2025 as Jan 6, 2036.
Can I keep using the Microsoft SQL Server 2025 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Microsoft stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the Microsoft SQL Server 2025 cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.
