# SQL Server 2008/2008R2 Extended Security Updates
2+
If you’re running SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2, these versions are reaching the end of their support lifecycle on July 9, 2019.
3+
Each version is backed by a minimum of 10 years of support (5 years for Mainstream Support and 5 years for Extended Support) including regular security updates.
4+
End of support means the end of security updates, which can cause security and compliance issues and put applications and business at risk.
5+
We recommend upgrading to current versions for the most advanced security, performance, and innovation.
6+
For customers that can’t get it all upgraded by the deadline, new options help protect applications and data during the upgrade transition:
7+
- Migrate your existing SQL Server 2008 and 2008R2 workloads as-is to Azure and receive additional 3 years of free Extended Security Updates (if and when available)
8+
- Purchase Extended Security Updates for your servers and remain protected for up to 3 years until you are ready to upgrade to a newer SQL Server version
