    Does anyone know a Key or Bypass for the Server 2008 R2. it is Important, since we cannot migrate or Buy ESU from Microsoft. It runs SQL 2008 R2, but we cannot go to 2012 or newer!!

    We want the last Chance, but with Security..

    No

    but that's only needed for .NET 4.x updates, and receiving ESU updates via Windows Update

    ESU Suppressor is enough to manually install OS updates

    These updates installed manually, but Windows Server 2008 R2 with ESU-Year1/2 add-on can't get updates after 2020-01.
    What's the problem? Thanks.

    ESU-Year1/2 add-on status is Unlicensed

    you should activate it:
