Want to keep using Windows Server 2012? No problem.

As Microsoft's support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 ends October 2026, 0patch steps in to ensure your servers remain protected. You may have already switched to 0patch on your servers back in 2023 or later instead of taking Extended Security Updates, but now Microsoft has literally abandoned Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. For those wanting to keep running these servers securely, 0patch offers a seamless solution with critical security patches we'll be providing at least until October 2029.

Lightweight and low-disruption

 Delivering critical patches without the overhead of full updates or reboots.

Regardless of how many years of ESU you have installed

Whether your Server 2012 or 2012 R2 has no Extended Security Updates and was last updated in October 2023, or has one, two or all three years of ESU installed, 0patch can take over while you keep the purchased extended updates installed.

No cumulative licensing

In contrast to Extended Security Updates, a 0patch subscription gets you all previously issued patches. You don't have to purchase "previous years of patches" like with ESU.

Not every server can be "simply upgraded"

Many organizations are staying on Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 because it works, is stable, and upgrading to a new server versions either isn’t practical or would break some critical functionality.
