Man in front of SQL grave
the situation

It's been on your list for years. Let's handle it.

SQL Server 2016 hits end of life July 14th, 2026. After that, Microsoft stops patching it — permanently. No more security updates. No more bug fixes. No safety net.

You already know this. And yet it keeps getting pushed.

Not because you don't care. But because SQL hides inside applications nobody wants to touch,  migration has a reputation for breaking things, and nobody gave you a clear mandate to prioritize it.

Until now.

Get clear on hurdles & risk

A detailed understanding of what the deadline means, why so many teams put this off, and what ESU does and doesn't buy you.

Pick your strategic path

A clear framework for your three paths forward: upgrade, cloud, or bridge. Plus: Advice to turn this must-do into a strategic win with leadership.

Hands-on demo

A live look at how to find every SQL Server 2016 instance in your environment — including the ones nobody remembers deploying — and build a migration plan with Block 64.
