Satellite, Red Hat will discontinue technical support services as well as
software maintenance services for all Red Hat Satellite versions 5.5 or

* Red Hat Satellite 5.4
* Red Hat Satellite 5.5

Notes:

1) Red Hat will continue to support Red Hat Satellite and Proxy version 5.6
and newer.

2) All versions of Satellite 5.5 and below will be EOL on May 29 2015.

Though we are committed to the May 29 2015 date for beginning the process
of decommissioning support for Satellite versions listed above, we
recognize that our customers have woven these products very deeply into
their processes and may need some time to upgrade.

For upgrade purposes, please note the following date:

* May 29 2015 - The Satellite and Proxy versions listed above will enter an
inactive state. After this date, Satellite Certificates will no longer be
generated or provided to customers requesting them for these EOL
product versions.

How to proceed:

* All affected Satellite and Proxy users must plan to upgrade to a newer
version prior to May 29 2015.

* Find an overview of various aspects for this upcoming EOL date at:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1322933

* If you have a Technical Account Manager, contact that person immediately
to discuss upgrade plans.

* Otherwise, contact Red Hat support for assistance at:
https://www.redhat.com/en/services/support

* Alternatively, Red Hat Consulting can be engaged to assist with a smooth
migration, see https://www.redhat.com/en/services/consulting.

More information on Red Hat Consulting for Satellite can be found in the
PDF document linked to in the References section.

It is critical to ensure you have a plan to upgrade Red Hat Satellite and
Proxy listed versions, prior to May 29 2015.

Customers who choose to continue to deploy any of the listed Red Hat
Satellite or Proxy offerings will continue to have access via Red Hat
Network (RHN) to the following content as part of their active Red Hat
Satellite subscription:

* Previously released bug fixes, security updates, and product
enhancements.

* Red Hat Knowledgebase and other content (whitepapers, reference
architectures, etc.) found in the Red Hat Customer Portal.

* All Red Hat Satellite documentation.

Customers are strongly encouraged to take the advantage of the upgrade
benefits of their active Red Hat Satellite subscription, and migrate to an
active version of Red Hat Satellite such as version 5.6 or 5.7.

Details of the Red Hat Satellite life-cycle can be found at:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/satellite/
