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.
