Need to innovate rapidly? Do you need early access to the newest System Center features? If so, consider joining the Semi-Annual Channel by installing System Center, version 1801.Should you use LTSC or Semi-Annual Channel? System Center 2016 is the current release. Actual functionality varies by release depending on customer feedback.
Most features introduced in the Semi-Annual Channel will be rolled into the next Long-Term Servicing Channel release. However, Update Releases do not contain the new features or functionality released in the Semi-Annual Channel. The Long-Term Servicing Channel continues to receive security and non-security updates through Update Releases (UR). This channel is appropriate for systems requiring a longer servicing option and functional stability. LTSC provides five years of mainstream support and five more years of extended support. LTSC is the release model you're already familiar with (formerly called the Long-Term Servicing Branch), where a new major version of System Center is released approximately every two to three years. In addition to the Semi-Annual Channel, you can still use the established Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC). The Semi-Annual Channel is only offered for customers with Software Assurance, and aligns with the release and servicing model for Windows Server announced in November 2017. Support for version 1801 is available until August 8, 2019. Public availability was February 8, 2018. System Center, version 1801, was released in January 2018. And public availability is the same month, or month following the release date. Semi-Annual Channel releases have 18 months of support from the date of public availability. Versions are identified by the year and month of release so version 1801 was released in January 2018. The first Semi-Annual Channel release was System Center, version 1801. With approximately two releases a year, you get new enhancements, features, and fixes almost as soon as Engineering signs off. The Semi-Annual Channel is for customers who innovate quickly. System Center 2019 will support upgrades from two prior SAC releases so customers running System Center 1801 or System Center 1807 will be able to upgrade to System Center 2019.Ĭonfiguration Manager is not impacted by the 2019 release change and will continue current branch release cadence of three times per year as detailed in Support for Configuration Manager current branch versions. The Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) for System Center has been discontinued.
