Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extended Life Cycle Support 1-year Notice

Notes

Topic
This is the one-year notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS). This notice applies only to those customers subscribed to the Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 in the Customer Portal.
Details
In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be retired on February 28, 2015, and support will no longer be provided. Accordingly, Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including critical impact security patches or urgent priority bug fixes, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS after February 28, 2015. In addition, technical support through Red Hat's Global Support Services will no longer be provided after this date. The retirement process for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS will complete on February 28, 2015. On that date, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS channels will be moved to the "Retired" channels area (under the "Retired" tab) on the Customer Portal, and customers will be unsubscribed from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extended Life Cycle Support channels. Customers continuing to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS on a system will consume a subscription. Customers wishing to access Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS content on the Customer Portal will need an active RHEL Server subscription. Customers who choose to resubscribe a system to the retired Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ELS channels will consume a RHEL Server subscription. Note again that the products in the Retired channels are frozen, and no further security patches or bug fixes will be provided. We encourage customers to plan their migration from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to a more recent version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As a benefit of the Red Hat subscription model, customers can use their active subscriptions to entitle any system on a currently supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
