    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to Semi-Annual channel , Annual channel and LTSC.

    Semi-Annual channel: The Semi-Annual Channel releases are supported for 18 months and a new release will be out twice a year.

    Annual channel: Releases of Windows Server in the Annual Channel typically occur every 12 months.

    Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC): continues to have 5 years of mainstream support and 5 years of extended support, with a new release planned for every 2-3 years.

    You can run winver to check current machine's version details, and below are Microsoft documents about the Semi-Annual channel, Annual channel and LTSC.

            Windows Server 2019  -  annual channel  version- **XX.YY.ZZ**
