TuxCare’s Upcoming Webinars: STIG Security 101 [Sept 18th] & When Spring Ends: How to Securely Work with End-of-Life Spring Projects [Sept 19th]
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7 Endless Lifecycle
Support
Secure your RHEL 7 infrastructure beyond the end of life with ELS – an
affordable, precision-engineered support solution that delivers timely high
and critical severity security patches for as long as you need.
Pricing as low as $42.50 per year or $4.25 per month for each system.
(guaranteed price lock for the term of your contract)
TuxCare has successfully resolved more than 5000 CVEs in open-source products to date (and counting), ensuring robust security and compliance for enterprise systems.
RHEL 7 reached end of life on June 30, 2024, so free security updates stopped over a year ago.
To stay vendor-supported, you’d need an active RHEL Enterprise subscription (a hefty baseline cost) plus Red Hat’s Extended Lifecycle Support on top of that – effectively a two-layer fee – to avoid unpatched vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.
Without extended support for RHEL 7, you must quickly upgrade to a newer supported RHEL version, like RHEL 8, or seek an alternative support provider.
TuxCare’s Endless Lifecycle Support for RHEL 7 has your back.
Not ready to upgrade?
With TuxCare’s ELS for RHEL 7, you get precision-engineered, high, and critical-severity patches delivered
on your schedule. No costly double subscriptions, no forced upgrades – just seamless protection.

Achieve maximum security for your RHEL systems with support for a comprehensive list of essential server packages
