SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (SAP ASE) Lives On

A SAP colleague of mine informed me a couple of weeks back that SAP has extended  Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) End of Mainstream Maintenance (EoMM) from 2025 to 2030.  This of course is great news for many customers invested in SAP ASE as their enterprise database solution. The following SAP Knowledge Base Article 192200 (login required) confirms the extension.  Below is the pertinent information of the note:
