I'm thinking of buying an Enterprise Edition of Windows 10 for a small business customer. He needs one of his workstation to be very stable (rock solid). An interruption caused by an update is not an option. I thought of Windows 10 Enterprise because of the LTSB (Long Term Service Branch).

If we buy a legit license of Windows 10 Enterprise, will we be able to get like at least 5 years (for example) of patches and security updates?

So LTSB installs only patches, hotfix and security updates right? Can we use Windows update to upgrade the newest CB?

According to this :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/uktechnet/archive/2015/07/13/windows-10-licensing-logic.aspx
Look at the table named "Long Term Service Branch is only Available for Windows Enterprise edition" :
Look at rows "Windows 10 v2015 Enterprise Upgrade" and "Windows 10 Enterprise Upgrade with SA²"
Look at the bottom of the table, in very small text :
"²If SA dropped, will have perpetual rights to the current LTSBs only, with Downgrade Rights"
I think that explains a lot.
And here's a quote of that website that explains exactly all the questions I had! (Wow! Should've done better Google'Fu before I asked here)
Windows Enterprise edition is available with or without software
assurance. Windows Enterprise without SA allows the customer to deploy
a point-in-time LTSB release, or previous ones (downgrade rights in
other words) and for that release to still be supported for 5 years.
Windows Enterprise edition with SA also gives customers the rights to
new LTSB release when they become available (every 2-3 years). They
can choose whether to install new releases or not. SA also means the
customer gains extended support so their chosen release will be
supported for 10 years.
Even if a customer does have LTSB requirements, it’s unlikely that all
of their devices will require it so customers with Windows Enterprise
with SA (or indeed Windows Education with SA) will be able to mix
Current Branch, CBB and LTSB according to their needs.
One important point to note is that Enterprise edition without SA will
not enjoy updates on Current Branch either. Customers with Home and
Pro editions will always get the latest features for the life of the
device. Enterprise edition without SA will not. The release that's
installed will eventually become out of date and the customer will
need to buy a licence again to update.
Windows 10 Enterprise Edition with SA is available through all
Microsoft Volume Licensing Programs (Open, Open Value, Select+, MPSA,
EA, etc.). You can visit this blog post to read about how to upgrade
to Windows 10.
