Subscriptions

In the traditional method of software delivery, the vendor is in control. Upgrades are costly. Access to help is limited. And there's not much incentive for the vendor to improve the software between upgrades.

In contrast, Red Hat Enterprise Linux products are provided on a per-system annual subscription basis. Subscriptions take the pain out of purchasing software because they provide everything needed in one all-inclusive price. There are no Client Access Licenses. No support incident limits. No unbudgeted upgrade costs. No hidden charges. Subscriptions help you support your infrastructure as your company grows. Traditional software licenses lose value over time. But with the subscription model, you pay as you go, and the value returns to you over the lifetime of the subscription in the form of updated features, security enhancements, and additional hardware and software support. You reduce your financial risk by having predictable IT costs. In return the subscription allows us to further improve the product.
