    It still happens, hence the advise to disable the .net bypass when not needed.

    Rollup KB5015861 (and SO KB5015862) contain ESU licenses and keys support for additional years 4/5/6

    same reaction; if that actually happens it could probably even end after/when windows 10's support ends in 2025
    where are those?

    So if we would want that, we would definitely need to install KB5015861 (and SO KB5015862), correct?

    Correct, and maybe three years will extend for Server 2008 Sp2, Server 2008 R2 sp1, Windows 7 Client (not WES, WEPOS), Server 2012, Server 2012 R2, AND Windows 8.1 Client (Not embedded)

    I haven't found any articles to confirm that Microsoft is going to increase ESU support for Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit for another 3 years.
    I'll believe it when I see it happen.

    No
    any later Monthly Rollup will have them
    they are needed only for actual ESU subscribers (if they officially extend it)

    You need the new pkeyconfig.xrm-ms in LM's directory, then start it. Do a "Browse database" and expand the appropriate item on the left.
