English term or phrase: renewal services

Context: Renewal Services for an operating system. Sorry, but I don't have any further information.
What is probably meant here are updates to the system and expansions to existing contracts ect. Any ideas for a general translation that includes all that?

Nachbesserungsdienst

Explanation:
A bit more general, and if the renewal refers to an operating system.

If renewal refers to a contract, "Verlängerungsdienst" would be more appropriate.
