Assistance Required for Downloading SQL Server 2014 ESU Patch for Standalone Installation
Hi Microsoft Support Team,
This here is a coummunity forum with volunteers, not a support forum.
SQL Server 2014 Extended Security Updates (ESU)
Even the extended ended on 7/9/2024.
We have now 2025; you won't find any puplic downloads for an unsupported product version; see
SQL Server 2014 - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn
How can I get the standalone patch for ESU Year 1, which covers the period from July 10, 2024, to July 8, 2025?
Extended security updates are available for your instances running in Azure that are connected to Azure ARC.
Outside of that scenario, they're a paid feature.
Additionally, there are no ESU's released yet for 2014.
See the following article.

Understand that the ESU patch has to create an instance in Azure Arc for standalone download.
Thanks for the reply!
