After [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] reaches the end of its support lifecycle, you can sign up for an Extended Security Update (ESU) subscription for your servers and remain protected for up to three years. When you upgrade to a newer version of [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)], you can terminate your ESU subscription and stop paying for it. When you [migrate to Azure SQL](/azure/azure-sql/migration-guides/), the ESU charges automatically stop but you continue to have access to the security updates.

Built-in resilience tolerates intermittent connectivity disruptions for up to 30 consecutive days without affecting billing accuracy. This means that as long as connectivity is not interrupted for more than 30 days, your billing remains correct—even if there are short, intermittent disconnections. If the machine stays disconnected for more than 30 days, the pay-as-you-go subscription expires, and you're no longer authorized to use the software.
