Red Hat
subscriptions

Red Hat subscriptions offer tested and certified enterprise software, providing enterprise-grade support, guaranteed updates, and legal assurance. Unlike traditional licences, they come with lower upfront costs, greater flexibility, and no upgrade fees throughout the subscription term.

In addition to production-ready software, Red Hat subscriptions provide lifecycle management, ensure software interoperability, and grant access to valuable tools and expert support.

Red Hat Software Licensing and Support

A Red Hat subscription allows customers to download Red Hat tested and certified enterprise software. This technology is compelling for organisations that want to increase productivity, value, and control. The Red Hat subscription model allows companies to benefit from enterprise-class support SLAs, guaranteed patches, updates and hotfixes, and legal assurance. Red Hat offers subscriptions rather than licences, which gives the customer better flexibility throughout their contract, lower upfront costs, and no upgrade fees. A Red Hat subscription offers production-ready code, life-cycle management, software interoperability, and access to experts and tools.
