by New products are introduced fairly often these days, which would be hard enough to keep track of, but they also tend to rename existing ones on a regular basis.

From this year SAP will change to naming only by year, so when the next S/4 on-premise release comes out in around September 2020 it will simply be known as S/4HANA 2020.

So while the 2040 deadline date for S/4HANA support appears to compare well with the latest ECC support deadline of 2027, and is technically still true, you will likely have to be running S/4HANA version 2036 in order to reach 2040 in maintenance.

I hope this quick summary was a useful update on where we stand today with SAP’s product line-up, and S/4HANA in particular.
