However, corporate customers have the option to purchase an ESU license for Windows 7 SP1 to continue receiving security updates between January 2020 and January 2023 at the latest. Microsoft has announced Extended Security Updates (ESU) support for this purpose as a separate program for corporate customers (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2018\/09\/06\/wow-windows-7-get-extended-support-until-january-2023\/\">Wow! Windows 7 get extended support until January 20<\/a>). ESU licenses are available for the following operating systems: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows 7 SP1\n<li>Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems\n<li>Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2\n<li>Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for Embedded Systems and Windows Server 2008 SP2 for Embedded Systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first year of ESU support expires in January 2021. Who wants to continue to have security updates for Windows 7 SP1 in 2021, needs the ESU package for the second year. I had pointed out this fact and the details in the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/12\/24\/windows-7-sp1-esu-support-for-2021-part-1\/\">Windows 7 SP1: ESU Support for 2021 \u2013 Part 1<\/a> in December 2020 for the last time. <\/p>\n<h2>ESU licenses for 2021 now available<\/h2>\n<p>Until now, however, it was the case that only pre-orders were possible. The German vendor Software Express mentioned in the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/12\/24\/windows-7-sp1-esu-support-for-2021-part-1\/\">Windows 7 SP1: ESU Support for 2021 \u2013 Part 1<\/a> informed me a few hours ago that the ordered ESU keys are now shipped &#8211; my ESU key is available on the respective portal.
