Calculating Semi-Annual Channel (Broad) Milestones
Semi-Annual Channel releases are serviced for 18 months from the date of release. So for example, Windows 10 1703 was released on April 11th; it will be serviced through October 2018. We expect to start publishing these dates on the http://aka.ms/win10releaseinfo page (ideally on the date we release) in the near future.
Note that this isn't really a change from before. We used to say that we have "two CBB releases supported at all times, plus a 60-day grace period." But with regular every-six-month releases, that math equation always works out the same: 18 months from the date of release. So we've just simplified the message.
in which way does the release date in select portal for Enterprise licenses have effect on this schedule.
These are release dates for Enterprise?

Does the 18 month cycle for enterprise start with release date of windows 10 enterprise?

Hello
The unique release date is mentionned in the the column "Availability date" (or "Verfügbarkeitsdatum" if i have a good reading of your URL).
This T0 date is the start date for the 18 month cycle :
T0 : Availability date of a Version, start of Pilot status
T0 + 4 month : end of Pilot status, start of Broad status
T0 + 16 month : end of Broad status, start of Grace Delay
T0 + 18 month : end of Grace Delay, End of Life of the Version.
There is no particular date for W10 Enterprise vs W10 Profesional.
