Innovation versions are released every six months and provide 6 months community support. Release schedule: September of even-numbered years, March and September of odd-numbered years.

What is the lifecycle of an LTS version Service Pack (SP)?

LTS SP lifecycle: minor SP (June release, optional) - 9 months; major SP (December release) - 24 months. Major SPs recommended for large-scale deployment. SP0 follows major SP lifecycle. SP3 is the last SP, ending with the LTS version lifecycle.
