    Why customers need to upgrade to SAP Business Suite 7

    End of extended maintenance on 31. March 2012 !

    During customer-specific maintenance, the following restrictions in the scope of service apply:

    NO delivery of legal changes

    NO delivery of Support Packages

    NO guarantee for technological updates (for example: no new kernel versions for the support of new database versions and operating system versions, no

    new patches for non-ABAP components, in some cases no direct upgrade to a current release, no support of new

    interfaces)

    NO service level agreements for initial response times and corrective measures

    NO remote support for the evaluation of the latest Enhancement Package

    Some recent versions of software from third-party providers may not be supported

    Customers may have to pay for the expense of solving new problems not yet known to SAP

    Customers may experience problems if their system has an obsolete Support Package level

    Customers may encounter problems that have been corrected with a more recent Support Package. In addition, it may be more difficult or even impossible to create individual corrections.
