What it checks

SERVERPROPERTY('ProductMajorVersion') against the Microsoft extended-support end date bundled in Lens:

Version Extended support ends
SQL Server 2014 2024-07-09
SQL Server 2016 2026-07-14
SQL Server 2017 2027-10-12
SQL Server 2019 2030-01-08
SQL Server 2022 2033-01-11

Why it matters

Out-of-support versions get no security fixes. A major upgrade takes months of planning and testing.

Next action

Plan the upgrade to a supported version: check application compatibility and each database's compatibility level.

Limitations

  • Dates come from the table in this Lens version; update Lens to refresh them.
  • Cumulative-update (CU) currency is not checked yet.
