- Canonical extends Legacy add-on for Ubuntu Pro, offering 15 years of coverage for Ubuntu LTS releases starting from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
- The extension aims to support highly regulated or hardware-dependent industries where upgrades can disrupt security and compliance.
- Ubuntu Pro provides continuous security maintenance, including patching and compliance tooling, without requiring major upgrades.
- Break/fix support is optional, offering access to Canonical's support team for troubleshooting production issues.
- The Legacy add-on is priced at a 50% premium over standard Ubuntu Pro and is available after the first 10 years of coverage.
- This expansion allows organizations more time to plan migrations and maintain compliance with long-lived systems.
